Back in my days, the good ol' 90s they at least had the decency to made up some fake testimony about Iraqis pulling babies out of incubators.

My venezuelan neighbor supports her and wishes for a "quick and painless regime change". Idk how to explain to her this has never happened in the history of US interventionism when she keeps saying "its possible"... ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Your first mistake was trying to get a gusano to not be a gusano

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 26 points 4 weeks ago

Quick and painless, that's what that offshore navy is for

The f-22s are there to drop confetti and notes of congratulation

[-] MarxMadness@hexbear.net 22 points 4 weeks ago

Focusing on "this has never happened before" might be a good way to avoid getting bogged down in the merits of the current government (a far broader topic), whatever plan is being proposed, etc.

i mean a) I don't know anything about maduro, chavez or the government before b) i am of the opinion germans should have less opinions and I shouldn't crackersplain her country to her

fun fact but googling "UN rapporteur Venezuela sanctions" looking for the name of the guy who went in like 2016 shows a bunch of articles from the 2020s with an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT rapporteur sent to Venezuela. I don't know her background, but the first guy was a Harvard educated ghoul

Know what they both had to say? THE SANCTIONS ARE KILLING PEOPLE. THE SANCTIONS ARE STARVING PEOPLE. WITHOUT THE SANCTIONS THINGS MIGHT NOT BE GREAT, BUT THEY ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY DOING MURDER.

The sanctions from the same country whose official government has official records stating the explicit intent of sanctions on Cuba is to STARVE PEOPLE and force them to overthrow the government.

That should tell you all you need to know really.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

That's all true and you can find politicians saying the intentions are starving the people into causing an uprising in Venezuela (not just Cuba or Iran) - but it's not all you need to know - the running of PVDSA has a very complex history and there were certainly elements of economic mismanagement in Maduro's time as well as Chavez. If however countries were open to helping Venezuela with oil refining and subsidy strategy rather than destroying it to get control of their oil, there would be a different outcome.

there were certainly elements of economic mismanagement in Maduro's time as well as Chavez

and the rapporteurs say all that but then state in no uncertain terms "it's the sanctions killing people"

After faking killing babies in incubators, accusing people of being responsible for 911s, anthrax attacks, literal weapon of mass destruction hoax, the hegemon cinematic universe has gotten out of hand. This is a "back to roots" reboot featuring a more grounded script

The powell-propaganda was the whole Cartel of the Suns and blowing up rando boats.

My "This is not Regime Change" t-shirt has given rise to many questions answered by my "This is not Regime Change" t-shirt.

they blew their load on those lies trying to smear palestinians

[-] elpaso@hexbear.net 44 points 4 weeks ago

Isn't one of the most telling signs that a coup is occurring is when someone on TV goes "this is not a coup?"

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 40 points 4 weeks ago

It's not a regime change, it's a change of the regime. Totally different

[-] lil_tank@hexbear.net 25 points 4 weeks ago

It worked for socdem and demsoc sooooo shrug-outta-hecks

[-] oculi@anarchist.nexus 39 points 4 weeks ago

CIA ain't even trying anymore

Also "democracy dies in darkness" - people who literally support undemocratically invading a nation for their natural resources. Fucking infuriating

I heard about the airspace closures, it's gonna get hot soon, isn't it? I'm stressed out over this...

[-] onwardknave@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

That Mother Teresa pose is on point. The ingratiating smile is just evil. Think of all the money they promised you, Maria.

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.
