That's real original Sinbad.
You should work for Analson Pooper.

 

[the other mike]

Democrats hate the truth, especially from RT.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We need to immediately deport any "American" espousing Socialism to Venezuela

 

[the other mike]

Leave Venezuela alone, Washington.

 

[DJT for Life]

Authoritarians like it from behind. No surprise.

You've got half your candidates, at the minimum, pushing socialism
and Venezuela is falling apart with their entire population starving.
You don't want to be debating that one either,

 

[impuretrash]

It's kinda cringey hearing conservatives jump on this SOCIALISM BAD bandwagon when the real reason the people of Venezeula are starving is because of US sanctions and their assets being frozen.

From the OP;
So, based on the Hinterlaces poll, most Venezuelans didn’t know Guaidó until recently. Most Venezuelans still support Maduro even if they believe corruption in the government has increased (whether you personally like Maduro or not doesn’t matter), and most Venezuelans don’t want military intervention or U.S. sanctions. Yet CNN and NPR and Fox News and the BBC and every other corporate outlet will have you thinking everyone is starving to death, on their knees begging for America’s democracy bombs to rain down like dollar bills at a strip club.

But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe those people really need our help, and U.S. intervention will work out great—exactly like it did in Syria,
and Yemen,
and Iraq,
and Iran,
and Afghanistan,
and Chile,
and Honduras,
and Haiti,
and Somalia,
and Libya,
and Guatemala,
and Nicaragua,
and Colombia,
and Panama,
and Fraggle Rock,
and those tree forts where the EWOKS LIVED!

Now that we have a general understanding of the situation (and why Anderson Cooper is not keen to remind viewers what happened with Fraggle Rock in the early ’90s), let’s get back to the question of oil.

When I first started writing this, I didn’t have proof the American government wanted Venezuela’s oil; it was just a hunch. Kinda like if you put a balloon in a room with a porcupine, you have a hunch he’ll pop the balloon. But I didn’t have a quote from a top Trump administration official saying, “We’d like to take their oil.”

Then national security adviser and Mustache of Doom John Bolton said, “hold my beer.” While on Fox News he stated clearly, “It will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in Venezuela.”

That’s Beltway Speak for “We want their oil.”

For 20 years we’ve been trying to destroy Venezuela, and our government always gives the standard line: “We want to help the people. We care about their democracy. They have a lot of inflation, and that’s why we need to drop our freedom bombs on their heads.” They’ve trotted out that bullshit brigade under Bush, Obama and now Trump. The officials never just say, “Yeah, there’s like, tons of oil there, and we want it.”

I'm calling bullshit - I have been to Caracas and inflation and corruption has devastated that country - led by Socialists. Your conspiracy theory might hold water if in fact we also invaded Saudi Arabia, or if we had actually taken Iraq's oil when we toppled Saddam, but we didn't. Besides that, the US now produces more oil on its own than we need. It's like you are living in the Jimmy Carter '70s when we had a real oil crisis.

Blaming all their problems on Socialism would carry a lot more weight if they weren't under extreme sanctions.

Maybe RT will stop telling the truth about Washington if
CNN stops telling lies about Moscow.

Even so-called liberals like Bill Maher are jumping on the regime-change bandwagon.

There are three things I know for sure in this fanciful, sometimes inglorious experience we call life:

1. You will never have a safety pin when you need one, and you will have thousands when you don’t need one.
2. Wild animals are breathtakingly majestic until they’re crawling up your pant leg.
3. A U.S. presidential administration will never admit that it invaded another country or backed a coup attempt in order to essentially steal the natural resources (oil) of said country.

This is why it was so very shocking last week when members of the Trump administration admitted they were backing a coup attempt in order to essentially steal the natural resources (oil) of another country.

That country is Venezuela. I’ll get back to this in a moment...
Everyone Has Fallen for the Lies About Venezuela

members of the Trump administration admitted they were backing a coup attempt in order to essentially steal the natural resources (oil) of another country.

Why would we want to steal a million barrels a day of low quality Venezuelan oil when we're producing
8 million barrels a day of high quality shale oil?

Trump has spent his entire Presidency escalating tensions and threatening violence. Don’t you dare act surprised if his stupid ass stumbles into a war or 2.

Nobody talks about the destruction of Libya and Syria under Obama's watch. We never hear about the Christian holocaust that's happening throughout the Middle East now - 500,000 in Syria thanks to ISIS fighters we sent in. In foreign policy Trump inherited a worse mess from Obama than Obama did from Bush.

ISIS fighters WE sent in? Are you on fucking drugs?

Why don't you STFU until someone slaps you hard enough for you to catch a clue?

My daughter's Army unit just spent most of 2018 bitch slapping ISIS out of existence.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You'd think that after our fiascos in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we would have learned something, and quit interfering in other countries internal political problems. ...

We’re supporting a new president.

A man trained by the IMF in the US who 80% of the Venezuelans never heard of ?

How many Americans had heard of Abraham Lincoln before he was elected? He wasn't even supposed to be nominated by the fledgling Republicans in 1860.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Since virtually all the European countries support the US position, you mush think they are all "authoritarian", too.

Different reasons why they support the US, mainly economic. We owe Germany about $700 billion for example, and if they piss us off, we may just not pay them. My question is how can Americans be so ignorant to believe that Russia interfered with our election but it's okay for us to interfere in Venezuela's ?

Russia interfered with our election just like I hacked and raided your bank account without your knowing anything about it. I took about 1/4 of 1 cent. Did you miss it?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

There aren't a lot of Maduro supporters outside of Moscow are there...

An ignorant comment on the subject from a brainwashed Democrat sheep.... now there's a big fucking surprise.

Am I wrong?

You're not a Maduro supporter?

I'm an American. It doesn't fucking matter what I think of the president of Venezuela who was elected democratically twice.

Ever read what Stalin said about elections?

Meanwhile in related news...
Opposition supporters clashed with Venezuelan police on Saturday in several places on the border with Colombia. They attempt to force a way for American ‘aid’ to enter the country against the wishes of the government.

The confrontation started in the morning in the border town of Urena. Footage from the scene showed several protesters pelting police officers with rocks and setting tires on fire.

It is called starving to death.

The oil companies don't steal other country's oil.
They have to pay for it.
People love it when the Oil Companies find oil on their land.
They love those oil company checks.

I'm getting tired of always being right.
TruNews with Rick Wiles, Real News, Latest News, Christian News
A company named Genie Energy, with major investors and advisors such as Lord Rothschild, former VP Dick Cheney and news mogul Rupert Murdoch, could be at the center of decade long play for Israeli energy dominance in the Middle East.

Israeli energy dominance? That's hilarious!

Do you know how much oil is in Israel? About as much as your car!

You read the words, but you don't understand them. The US holds gold for other nations, but that has nothing to do with instruments of debt.

Keep believing that.

Where do you find these off the wall sources to agree with your fantasies?
