    Two things can be true at the same time. Maduro can be a dictator and the US can exerciser its military power illegally and attempt to intimidate and topple him.

    Both can be true at the same time.

      They can also not be, brainiac.

        Well that was aggressive. You seem very excited about this subject, maybe you should calm down.

        There was nothing “vague” about my statement. Maduro is a dictator and the US is violating international law going after him.

          “You are an emotional soyjack and I am a rational chad.”

          Redditors, man.

            Two comments and not a single coherent argument besides name calling.

            I can see redditors live rent free in your head. Is there some kind of trauma they inflicted which you can’t move past?

          It’s not at all a grand statement to say “US bad, but enemy of US also bad.” All this does is cede legitimacy to the US Empire against its enemies, manufacturing consent during their aggression. It doesn’t matter if you finger wag the US, by legitimizing their claims against their enemies, you legitimize their assault.

          This is even further compounded by your lack of explanation of how a democratically elected and popularly supported president is a dictator. This is the same playbook they used against Allende.

            Once again both can be true at the same time.

            Here are some articles on the subject if you wish to educate yourself. Of course if facts get in the way of your preconceived notions or political objectives you can always ignore them.

              Incredibly telling of yourself that you link pro-imperialist media like NPR and the Guardian as though they have any legitimacy when it comes to accurately portraying socialist leaders. I’ve already seen the western consent manufacturing, this isn’t new to me, and I find it as credible as Saddam’s WMD.

        As a latino…I am tired of USA citizens whitesplaining me shit.

        Guy is a dictator.

        Trump should still fuck off from latinoamerica but Maduro is a dictator.
