This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

No, I think she's trying to flatter Trump to make sure the US still supports a democratic transition in Venezuela. Trump doesn't need to be goaded into not liking Maduro, even if they're both authoritarian lovers

This is also the reward he apparently coveted most. Frankly she might be doing this just not to be directly targeted by him negatively.

I have no idea, but i wouldn't want to be the person who beat Trump for this award, the dude is not afraid to kill civilians in cold blood.

He only coveted the award because Obama won one. Nothing more to the story. After Obama handed him his ass at the White House Corespondent's Dinner, it was game on.

If you haven't seen that, have a quick look at history being made. Only reason Trump ran.

Trump likes communists and socialists who flatter his ego just fine, just look at his boy trip to N. Korea. Maduro's problems are 1: he didn't do that and 2: Trump is gagging to invade someone

have you seen how Murica "supports democratic transitions" around the world?? you can't possibly be this naive

yet you have no issues pretending to justify her behaviour?

[–] guy@piefed.social -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I answered a question with what I think she does when she's tweeting??

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ok, so either she wants the usa to install her (or someone close) as a puppet regime or she is too stupid to understand that

either way we are both speculating and your “I'm not Maria" makes no difference

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, we are both obviously speculating. But you accused me of being naive about the US and it's role in democratic transitions as an answer to my speculation of her tweet. I don't think you read what I wrote especially close or you wouldn't be this confrontational. 🙄

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

so you get to speculate for free but we cannot challenge your speculation because, at that moment, it's not yours, it's whomever you placed the speculation on?

by the way, you did not even clarify you were speculating, you outright stated her position

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No, I think she’s trying to flatter Trump to make sure the US still supports a democratic transition in Venezuela.
Trump doesn’t need to be goaded into not liking Maduro, even if they’re both authoritarian lovers

Feel free to "challenge" what I think about her reasoning.

you did not even clarify you were speculating, you outright stated her position

See, you are not reading before answering, I even start the sentence with I think. Usually one does not need to put up a disclaimer when commenting on a forum..
