I don’t normally do this but I think this story is worth sharing.

    That is exactly what Marco Rubio, descendant of Cuban exiles and US Secretary of State, would say about Cuba. And that is probably also the reason why the US forcibly deposed Maduro, who was undoubtedly a ruthless dictator: But the US did not do so because he was a dictator, but probably because he supplied Cuba with oil or because Trump had some business deals in mind for his family. In any case, the reason for this absurd violation of international law is so unclear that one can only assume that it is due to Trump’s previous policy of excessive self-enrichment – not even the oil industry was informed about this move.

    However, none of this changes the fact that this US intervention was a clear violation of international law, and if you feel the need to justify it, I can only tell you that you are on the wrong side because you are putting forward flimsy arguments to justify this crime.

      Hey man, just want to point out:

      Venezuelans had it bad under Maduro =/= Trump kidnapping Maduro good

      So, please put down the gun, thank you.

        I don’t have a gun, but Trump does. Can’t you understand that? With your human touch stories, you’re just playing into his hands. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but that’s how it is.

      I feel you’re replying to the wrong person or you are making a fan fiction of my comments to be outraged at.
