Did we not go through this in the late ’70s and early ’80s with Brazil and Argentina? Please – People and Peoples of Venezuela – overthrow Maduro before he obtains “black market” nuclear weapons! In the name of the Realms of Heaven – you do NOT want a duel with US.
please people of america overthrow trump he already has nuclear weapons!
Except this cartoon is way off base. Maduro is no tyrant. He was democratically elected, in fact, in an election system that is free, fair, independently verifiable, and puts the U.S. system to shame. And he remains quite popular, despite the flood of lies told about Venezuela in the U.S. corporate media.
The “opposition”–read: the wealthy neoliberal fascists that the U.S. has consistently used as their puppets in Latin America for many decades–boycotted the last election because they knew they had no chance of winning. It was a desperate attempt to de-legitimize a democratic process that has been thoroughly vetted and certified by a number of international watchdog organizations.
So now the opposition wants to take power by force, since they’re incapable of doing it in a free and fair election. And the U.S. is just fine with that, just as they were fine with many other violent, illegal coups against other democratically elected Latin American presidents in the past in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Haiti, Dominican Republic, etc. etc.
