OurToothbrush, to worldnews in Venezuela Formally Applies for BRICS Membership

I wonder if this will change their oil export strategy, and whether this means that the US might try to to a Guiado 2 electric boogaloo

AnomalousBit,

Only a troll farm could produce such a shit-take. Guiado was voted president by the Venezuelan people, but petro-dictator-for-life Maduro got his ass saved by Russia.

Venezuelan Presidential Crisis

Have fun trading with the Russians in BRICS though! They can’t even afford socks for their soldiers in Ukraine, they’re wearing foot wraps God’s sake!

OurToothbrush,

Allow me to respond to this with the seriousness it deserves

You’re quoting Wikipedia to support your position and the article doesn’t even say what you’re arguing.

AnomalousBit,

There’s hundreds of sources at the bottom, compared to the… meme you provided? Great argument, though!

OurToothbrush, (edited )

Oh, then maybe cite those! Highschoolers do it all the time.

Also the article doesn’t claim Guiado was elected by the people.

Click the link and scroll down! Sorry I forgot bots and troll farms can’t read!

In what world was Guaido elected president lol, he was president of the assembly yes but that has nothing to do with being president and that specific title is not put to a democratic vote

I think the time for the USA to act on BRICS has already passed. The longer it goes the closer-knit the group becomes and any attempt from the USA to disrupt it now could backfire immensely by galvanising BRICS and the prospective members. Could you imagine the USA getting sanctioned by all those countries?

Because that’s worked so well for them in the past. /s

Israel: Make sure the hate continues into next generation by traumatizing children, so that even if Hamas is destroyed, there are seeds for new islamic terror groups 🤦🏻‍♀️ This will never end like this…

The article was a little confusing, he was a high ranking member but never the leader. Tirofijo was the leader from the late 60s until 2008. Alfonso Cano led for a few years before he was killed in a raid. He was also a hardliner, peace would have been unlikely.

This is not a super surprising move. The last FARC leader Timochenko is free and the president of the successor political party, I’m sure the US would prefer he and others were also in a US prison instead of Colombian politics. They seem to be doing a good job of reintegrating, at least from the outside. There are dissidents that continue to fight, but in much smaller numbers.

Letstakealook, to worldnews in Gas Agreement Between Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago Moves Forward Despite US Sanctions

I found this article pretty confusing. It reads like the US granted a license to Trinidad to extract gas in Venezuelan waters.

Bitrot,
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

They did. The headline using “despite” is somewhat confusing and makes it sound like the sanctions were simply ignored. TT advocated with US leaders and petitioned for a waiver, which was granted.

It is an opinion piece against the sanctions, because they make everything slow even with the license and any access can be modified at the whims of the US.

Letstakealook,

I understand now, thank you for the explanation.

It should be obvious to anyone that has ever read a Wikipedia page relating to geopolitics.

Lots of claims in this article, yet very little to substantiate the claims, or any counter arguments regarding them. That's not proper journalism at all.

SeaJ, to worldnews in Venezuela Formally Applies for BRICS Membership

BRICS is a bit of a joke outside of China and India. The other countries are all extractive economies that are highly dependent on commodity prices. That has largely led to those countries being economic basket cases. Venezuela would be the worst of that by far. Chavez took a middling economy and destroyed it. Maduro was keen to carry the torch afterward.

lntl, to worldnews in Venezuela Issues Arrest Warrant for Antonio Ledezma

We have requested an arrest warrant for Antonio Ledezma for the crimes of treason, conspiracy, incitement to commit a crime, and association

What exactly did this guy say?

shreddy_scientist,
@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

Not exactly sure on his exact wording but Ledezma, a lawyer, called for deaths and confrontation between Venezuelans. Whatever his angle was, it seems to have backfired.

lntl,

Yeah, that’s still pretty vague though. He probably didn’t call for the death of random people.

I think it’s interesting that this piece omits the information.

Found more details on it for you, according to euro.eseuro.com “an arrest warrant against the former metropolitan mayor, Antonio Ledezma currently in exile, as well as his extradition from Spain.

The measure announced on August 21 by Saab, in a speech broadcast on VTV, obeys statements made by Ledezma during an interview with journalist Patricia Poleo in which he stated that the only way to register Maria Corina Machado as a presidential candidate it was “setting civil disobedience in motion.”

He even mentioned that he talks with the military without revealing names, but he clarified that it was not a matter of conspiracy.”

But you’re right, weird it wasn’t referenced. I’d assume the article’s intention was to tell folks in the loop the latest development as it’s an intricate storyline.

Did they at least donate properly to fund it or we are all holding those bags so they can play their stupid games?
