That's the weird thing.  Koods often seems like a pretty smart guy, but he lives in a bubble of make believe.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

CNN is getting comical for the bullshit they are now trying to peddle:
Quote:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed Tuesday that embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was preparing to leave the country for Cuba, but was talked out of it by Russia.


The obvious story is that Maduro had an escape plan if the coup were to get out of control.


Now, the US has an excuse to impose more sanctions on Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela all at the same time for not allowing the coup to succeed.  :flowstone:


In fact, Trump just threatened a new embargo on Cuba for their role in helping keep Maduro in power.


WOW, are Americans really this stupid?

Seriously. How are you this naive? We want Venezuela’s oil. Period. Taking away the only resource the Venezuelan people have is not going to help them.


I'm surprised koods isn't smart enough to understand this.

He seems to think the US causing 40,000 deaths and installing an unelected puppet President to make it stop is just what the Venezuelan people like.


Why do we want Venezuela’s oil? Can either of you tell me what we need it for?

Because "real" value  is in natural resources.  Oil, clean water, clean air. Not to mention the our track record of invading foreign countries in the name of diplomacy for oil.

Venezuela is an environmental distaster. Caracas had the worst air quality of any city I’ve ever been

Can someone please justify their assertion that the US wants Venezuela’s oil. Why would we want it? The US doesn’t rely on foreign sources of oil anymore. The US is now the world’s largest oil producer, and we are a net exporter. So, again, why would we need their oil?

Maduros thugs repeatedly ran over protesters with armored vehicles earlier today. This is what repression looks like.

To control the most important resource in the world. If we don't control it, China or Russia might fill the void and the US doesn't want that outcome.

Why does the US care about oil production in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria and elsewhere?

ya its not like much of the global economy runs on oil, its not like Bolton said anything about oil being good for American companies, its not like the PETRO-dollar has a specific relationship with oil, its not like Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil and controlling that would mean influencing the price of oil like OPEC already do.

DURR why would America want control of Venezuelas oil?!?

Jesus, koods.

cars, tanks, airplanes, plastics, ships



edit:  and like others have said, if you have it, and others don't, then you can make dents in or help cripple their economy, making them more dependent on you for other products/goods

That can't possibly be a serious question, can it?  Regardless, looks like everyone here understands but you.

Looks like one guy in that video got injured trying to overthrow the President.  I wonder how US security guards would have reacted to people trying to overthrow our own President?


And then there's the estimated 40,000 people killed by US sanctions.  But that's not what repression looks like, that's what freedom and democracy look like, amirite koods?

The government ran over protesters with assault vehicles. That’s what happened. It’s pretty distgusting what kind of behavior you are willing to justify.

I agree with JHOVA, "I'd run 'em over too if they threaten my life".

I noticed your fake news source cut out what happened just before those people got run over.  I also notice your fake news source deceived you about "hundreds of thousands" of people attempting a coup.  I also notice that you still trust your fake news source and have no problem being wrong over and over and over and over...

Jhova just likes the idea of protesters getting run over and you are just willing to make excuses for actions that any rational human knows is unacceptable.



There are 50,000 people in this photo alone. At least.
