Venezuelans in the streets celebrating
Leftists around the world
Why are we pretending this isn't temporary? how many instances of people cheering on regime change and then over a few years or decades it turning out just as bad or worse do we have to see before we stop pretending this has anything to do with heroism? you think a US installed leader, also non democratically elected, will be good to the people there? For how long? If the venezuelans decide they don't support it, theyre getting bombed for oil.
Just because desperate people are cheering doesn't mean we have to pretend this won't just be how it always is. New guy will still be a dictator, but just one who gives oil to the USA. If a non usa-friendly guy runs, the USA will ensure they cannot win in favor of whoever is owned by USA corportations. We all, if we're not pretending, know that whoever it is will be just as corrupt, and run the playbook of trumps bestie bukele and arrest dissenters and journalists. The heads of the USA have already admitted its just to install someone who will give US corps oil.
Seriously, get past this "theyre celebrating, good things are coming to them" mindset. How many streets have been filled with adoring fans of the new regime only to be subjugated over the coming years before we stop pretending people who are desperate cheering means they will be saved?
Not to mention, every US conservative (the ones that matter and are winning) hate any acts that help foreign countries these days. One red cent spent on venezuelans will rankle the "america first" crowd. So itll be a bunch of conservatives insisting we saved venezuela as they get poorer and worse off because all their resources belong to foreign corporations but at least the US brought freedom that they suppress. How will venezuelanas be helped? we all, again, know that someone who will play dictator for USA will still subjugate venezuelans. Like some people in this thread though, Conservatives will just jerk off and go "well the people theyre subjugating are probably evil commies, not real patriotic conservative venezuelans. Every country should purge its populace of any non far right individuals."
