This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

Hell the only thing I know about her is that she's flattering a fascist dictator and and seems to be hinting around asking said fascist dictator to invade her country. Sounds pretty fucking abysmal to me.

Oh that's not the only thing:

In 2011, she campaigned as a promotor of "popular capitalism".[104] Machado supports the privatization of state-run entities in Venezuela, including oil company PDVSA.[70][103] Machado has supported the international sanctions during the Venezuelan crisis,[70]

The international sanctions lead to widespread hunger in her country. She's evil.

He's getting played, like every other deal he ever makes.

I'm a consequentialist, hard to say if Mad's regime would survive overnight if it meant war with the USA, but certainly can't be any worse than leaving him in charge.

The woman supported sanction that lead to widespread hunger in her own country

Ah yes I remember when Hitler came into power by removing Joseph Stalin. /sarcasm

It's not a strange stance to hardline on that leaders should be democratically elected and never serve more than 2 terms.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh it's so so could be worse.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, it could be so much worse with Madorko in power, at any moment, it could also be so much worse with any other absolute leader in power. There are no different levels of evil at play here that we need to be worried to the point of leaving him in power just to be safe. So, Venezuelans better get to playing musical chairs until their government lands on a real democracy.

Let me guess, the "real democracy" will sell the oil industry to the USA.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Idgaf where the sell or buy to and from. Right now the USA's in a pretty shitty state, I think I'd rather they didn't, but that sort of whataboutism to defend dictatorships is just Tankie-ism.

EDIT: Didn't Maduro offer to sell his counrty's natural resources to the USA in return for recognizing his victory?
