Here we go again. Let’s tamper with other countries just enough to create instability, then scratch your heads a decade later when their population is escaping to your border. Rinse, repeat, Insanity.
Guaido’s term expired already?
He will always be the president of my heart.
Electoralism and its consequences 😔
Common electoralism L.
Evergreen headline.
internationalism, anti-imperialism, and the empowerment of all people as political subjects with rights and responsibilities
That’s really rich when your soldiers are massed near Essequibo along a border with a country less than half your size.
Like the Malvinas were colonized from Argentina by the UK for its resources and to put mililtary there, this region was colonized from Venezuela by the british ruled Guyana for similar reasons.
Guyana’s current government is a US puppet regime that’s given megacorps like Exxon Mobil full access to its oil, and is planning to place US military in Essequibo to aid in their trying to overthrow Venezuela. It makes sense to take measures to prevent this.
the Malvinas were colonized for resources
What resources do the Falklands have exactly? Fucking fish?
It was a convenient and well situated naval base historically, and now is perfectly able to declare independence if the population so wishes -the falklands just, shockingly, overall benefit from being a part of a larger and richer national entity.
Essequibo was disputed in colonial times, with the dispute being settled by an international tribunal. First it was about gold, now it’s about oil.
What resources do the Falklands have
Oil; same as Essequibo, hence my comment relating the two. You can look things up you know?
naval base historically
“Historically”? Lmao it has br*tish naval bases in it right now. Same thing the US wants to do with Essequibo.
international tribunal
Funny way to say imperialist colonizers. Now the difference is that the de facto leader of the imperial core is the US instead of the UK, and the former is interfering here now instead.
Yeah, US troops were not there first. And I know it goes against the grain a little bit, but not everyone that works with the US is some puppet of our evil empire or something.
Some people just choose to do business with our companies of their own free will, as outlandish as that may sound.
edit: Oh, and I had to look it up, but they’ve been their current size and shape for 200 years now. I don’t see how the Spanish colony of Venezuela has any more right than the British colony of Guiana.
The USA under Trump tried to depose the Venezuelan leader only 5 years ago or so. Speaking of Trump, a large portion of the USA is currently striving to elect someone who tried to overthrow democracy in their own nation. Electoral scrutiny is all well and good, but is the USA really the right arbitrator given their domestic election problems and history of interfering in Central/South America? What do Venezuelans think about US involvement?
Then Russia interferes with US election. It’s election interference all the way down.
Except it stops at countries like Russia where the complete election is fake.
Russia had no effect on US elections. Please update your understanding, it’s years old now. The Mueller report was clear on this point - Russia’s connections were far deeper and more effective (in both directions) with the Democrats than the Republicans
Unlike our glorious US empire where the elections are definitely totally legit
No liberal “democracies” are democratic in the first place on account of being capitalist dictatorships
Biden successfully deposed of Pakistan’s elected leader lol.
Source?
Imran Khan was coup’d in 2022 for his independent foreign policies and replaced with a pro-US puppet (who sent weapons to Ukraine and bombed Iran), despite Imran being highly popular in Pakistan.
He won the this year’s election from jail despite the whole election being completely filled with vote-rigging. It’s not quite clear where things are gonna go from here.
I asked for a source or evidence. You provided a statement made by Imran Khan himself. A statement by a politician claiming that the US backed a coup in Pakistan is not evidence.
Leaked cable:
https://theintercept.com/2023/08/09/imran-khan-pakistan-cypher-ukraine-russia/
IK being charged by attempting to disclose the secret cable:
Wow. So i read the full transcript. A few points.
-
We don’t know where this document originated and the intercept has not authenticated it (they at least claim as much)
-
Nothing Lu said is out of line. Which part do you take umbrage with? Khan is definitely putting his spin on this.
It’s pretty much been confirmed because Imran Khan released parts of the message that match the version the intercept received much later, of which I already pointed out he was charged with breaking the state secrets law.
Lu was very set on wanting Imran Khan gone via the NCV. This cable wasn’t meant to negotiate anything with Imran Khan or even tell him to rectify his stance on Ukraine. He said clearly that ties with Washington deteriorated and would only be restored if IK was removed.
More importantly, the cable was directed towards the Pakistan army who has the ultimate power in Pakistan (and incidentally has been bribed several times before). They did as they were asked and helped the NCV succeed by helping the opposition bribe and coerce party members to swap sides overnight. Then, they swiftly arrested IK, banned PTI as a political party, tortured and killed their party members, assassinated some journalists, shutdown the internet, banned Twitter, and called it a day.
It’s nothing new for the USA or even Pakistan, it’s just that this was probably the first grassroots populist party in Pakistan to ever get a chance at running the country and it lasted all but 5 seconds because that invovled the idea of foreign sovereignty which is something the USA doesn’t like.
They can and will use whatever means necessary to keep their leverage in the global geopolitical scene.

Really, someone physically in the space with direct experience of the event in question is not evidence? It’s because he’s brown and worships a god from the wrong part of the world, isn’t it?
Wow. What an exceptional piece of journalism from Alexandra Zoe and the People’s Dispatch! Not a single source: just an opinion piece. But thank you Alexandra for your unbiased insight. What an incredible claim that there might be corruption in Venezuelas electoral process! Clearly an indication of the American Colonial western imperialism expansionist policy. Did I get all the buzzwords right? This is what stands for journalism nowadays?
Everyone reading this piece full of buzzwords and without any source and thinking ‘yeah, this seems trustworthy’, is completly delusional.
