This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.
Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.
Maria clearly doesn't understand how authoritarians work. They can never be placated or satisfied. There are no small victories to give them to keep them happy. The more you give them, the more that they demand.
Isn't that the reason she's trying to reestablish democracy in Venezuela, to get rid of an authoritarian leader she knows can't be satisfied?
A fake democracy where she will let the usa define the policies and profiting from venezuela oil
You think she's goading Trump on to see if he supports her over her opponent?
No, I think she's trying to flatter Trump to make sure the US still supports a democratic transition in Venezuela. Trump doesn't need to be goaded into not liking Maduro, even if they're both authoritarian lovers
This is also the reward he apparently coveted most. Frankly she might be doing this just not to be directly targeted by him negatively.
I have no idea, but i wouldn't want to be the person who beat Trump for this award, the dude is not afraid to kill civilians in cold blood.
He only coveted the award because Obama won one. Nothing more to the story. After Obama handed him his ass at the White House Corespondent's Dinner, it was game on.
If you haven't seen that, have a quick look at history being made. Only reason Trump ran.
I would, I would rub it in his face from the deck of a ship in the gulf as USS turrets turn to watch me float by.
have you seen how Murica "supports democratic transitions" around the world?? you can't possibly be this naive
Perhaps she's not interested in democracy beyond using it as a vehicle to get herself in the driver's seat.
bingo
...our task: conquer Freedom
That phrasing sounds like they're against freedom.
They are! Freedom needs a good conquerin’ now and then
That is an impressive amount of ass kissing. Well done.
I'm getting vibes now that she's s cia plsnt like the last guy
Machado is anti-chavismo and has disagreed with other sections of the Venezuelan opposition.[102][103][104] 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]
That's the only reason she won. Americans want their oil
Imagine appealing to one dictator, in the hopes that they can help you get rid of another? It doesn't get much stupider than this. I guess that Nobel Prize doesn't apply to regime change requests?
Further proof that the NPP is bullshit. Like the one they gave to Obama.
Nothing says Peace Prize like Conquering Freedom in dedication to Donald Trump.
I was wondering if the Conquering Freedom bit was a poor translation earlier, guess we have an answer.
...what the hell is going on...?
Tldr: orange man, you cool, wanna restart Operation Condor?
GAG
cma man cma.
