Headline: Trump’s bluster failed Venezuela. Biden must use diplomatic and economic levers to address the crisis.

Last month I told my mom Biden would probably be just as aggressive towards Venezuela as Trump and I just saw this wonderful headline: Biden will recognize Guaido as Venezuela's leader, top diplomat says.

Learning the dark art of Marxist–Leninist–Maoist prophesying is more a curse than a blessing :deeper-sadness:

    just ask them why does it matter if Maduro was elected or not? Why does america need to be involved?

    because of human rights!

    well, there are a lot of other countries with much worse humans right records that don't even hold elections. why don't you sanction saudi arabia?

    i haven't tried this yet - it may work.

      Often the best recourse here is to pull the same thing with Civil-War-slavery deniers; human rights to what? To own and exploit other people and their resources?
