His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

The three countries most well known for their open and fair democratic processes.

Mr Maduro accused the opposition of producing fake evidence to contest the result of the election and said the US was behind what he described as a farce and a coup attempt.

Wouldn’t be the first time

Maduro and buddies are already saying the post election protests were a CIA coup attempt. They knew this was coming and they tried to get out ahead of it.

The US is bad. Especially when it comes to South America. And especially with socialist countries. The US always sanctions socialism to then claim it doesn’t work. Otherwise americans might start to doubt their ultra capitalism.

Not just that, but it’s also that Anthony Blinken wrote Israeli propaganda articles since 80s.

If you like conspiracy theories, he may have been familiar to J Epstein, who may have had ties with Mossad (then that whole pedophile operation makes perfect sense as a very efficient way to blackmail a lot of powerful people, and him offing himself makes more sense).

If you don’t, the fact stands that Anthony Blinken has acted in the interests of a foreign fascist state since 80s.

This may be a bit philosophical, but South America in general has much more progressive approach to international law than the rest of the world, the Montevideo convention as the most notable example, but also the first country to recognize the Armenian Genocide was Uruguay, and despite all the dictatorships, crime and trafficking I’d say in some sense it’s still the least fascist part of the world.

In any case, who in their right mind really believes Maduro won? But I’m sure even Venezuelan opposition doesn’t want US to protect them Desert Storm style.

What are you talking about the US has never done anything bad in south America, unless you count Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, ans Chile. Yeah the list is surprisingly short in south America.

Uh… Colombia??? Kind of a biggie to leave out!

*Edit, I’m sorry, I live next to the river, I’m used to spelling the name Columbia because we insisted on spelling his name wrong in the US whereas they kept the Italian spelling in South America, he was still a genocidal asshole who could not have discovered a place that already had inhabitants but also was not even the first European to go there though, maybe we shouldn’t name anything after him though technically the river is named after a ship which was named after the person.

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
