Lapdogs of the empire.

It's amazing how Trump can just rip the mask off and scream "we're gonna steal their oil!" and pigshit fucking liberals will hem and haw about Maduro's legitimacy.

Not a fan of maduro, really really not a fan of this. If killing incompetent or illegitimate leaders is okay, he's nowhere near the top of the list.

Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.

May the empire and its vassals fall.

It is shameful how our politicians provide cover for these monsters. It is an absolute disgrace and an expression of how cowardly and weak our governments are.

We urgently need to break away from this mafia state, but our so-called representatives bow down to the orange child molester and his god-damned Nazi crew. Disgusting!

Vassal states support the empire. 🤷

What legitimacy has the Saud family? Or any of the other dictatorships the EU and the US gives support?

EU has always supported invasion of the Americas, this is no different day.

Colonialism, in the end, stems from Europe and the root of evil must be killed there.

The EU's lacklusture response to the invasion of Vanezuela sets a bad precendent. What's the EU position going to be when the US invades Canada or Mexico because of "fentanyl coming over the border" or decides Denmark is a narco-state and invades Greenland?

The reasons for the US invading Venezuela because "narcotics" was complete bullshit and anyone with a half brain should be calling it out.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 25 points 7 months ago

The EU has always been vassalized in the US Empire. it isn't particularly surprising. They realize that it's awful, but they benefit from it so they support it.

Bolivia, Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua, Russia, China, DPRK, Syria, and many more recognized Maduro officially. Further, Mexico, Colombia, etc that expressed caution initially did end up attending Maduro's innaguration and expressed their congratulations. There's no evidence that Maduro did not win the election.

Further, Maduro was not a dictator. Venezuela has a strong left organization at the grassroots level, supported by the state. The fascists that the US Empire planted there like Machado are certainly going to try a coup, but the people's millitias likely will not let that happen, and will instead rally around the government.

By legitimizing the empire's lies, you're supporting their narrative that Venezuela is some hellhole yearning for the US empire to liberate them, and not a budding socialist country in the empire's backyard.

He absolutely was legitimate, the US tried to manufacture consent to overthrow Maduro the same way Trump tried to claim the 2020 election was stolen. This is the same people, same playbook.

Kallas only knows how to be tough on Russia; aggression from Israel or the USA is great for her, even when the European Union is the target, she is weak and pusillanimous.

[-] Shamber@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Ahhhh the castrated EU, let stream of absolute useless statements begin, next the UN backs the invasion of sovereign country to bring peace and prosperity to its people, the perfect recipe for all the good things happening in the great world we live in
