The US Attacked my country... (lemmy.world)

I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

Certainly not exhaustive. Special ops are only one component of regime change!

These are all things that happened post 2000.

I always forget Yugoslavia legally existed until 2006. But wasn't the depleted uranium bombing in 1999? Or do you mean Milosivec in 2000?
