I'll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don't know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I've let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
the problem with this one is that all the libs/chuds have the biggest opinions. it's hard to struggle over "he's fine, the US should leave Venezuela alone"
Yeah, I guess so. Selfishly I guess I just wanted to hear people's takes on it who were better read than me on the situation so I could have some data/resources to look at. I figured that the best way to get that was to do some infighting, lol.
Takes on most countries are "they're fine, the US should leave them alone", I was hoping for further insight.
yeah, that's why I upbeared the thread, was hoping to learn more also
Yeah, like, I think it's pretty difficult to judge how well eg he's managing the economy when they're under crippling sanctions. Like okay that means he's worse than Fidel but christ that's a high bar.
Yeah, it is very difficult. He's got a very difficult job to do. Still, his successes and failures can be assessed.
the one "failure" that comes to mind was that time a Venezuelan navy guy thought stopping dead in front of an ice breaker was a good idea
in a vessel that was essentially made of fibreglass
versus something designed to plow though sea ice
i get why Maduro went all "this is a grave attack on us" and all that shit, but come on, your navy guy is not the smartest lmao
