This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

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

I'm not Maria Machado

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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..
