Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
Theres also the US invasion of the DR in 1965 (the Dominican Civil-War), when the US, Haiti and many of the US puppet regimes armed forces invaded the DR to remove the first democratically elected Dominican President, the nationalist social-democrat, Juan Bosch. Bosch had been removed from power by a Far-Right Military coup, but he had the support of some conservatives and liberals, specially within the armed forces and attempted to return to power. The US invaded to stop their puppet goverment from collapsing.
Like all militaries in Latin America, the Venezuelan Army is full of reactionary brainworms (The Venezuelan Right/Opposition) also hates Guyana) and demands, they seem to be pretty loyal to Maduro considering how the 2019 military coup attempt failed to gain any support within the army saved by some high-ranking generals that ended up purged. Some people said Russia and Cuba had sent troops to help Maduro purge the army in 2018 - 2019 and that helped Maduro avoid a Bolivia 2019 coup scenario.
Yup, no shortage of examples. Damned if you do and damned if you don't, such is the way when you won't cede ground to the most destructive empire the planet has ever seen.
