Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

bro is not getting into heaven ๐
This is terrorism and piracy, purely to get a response out of Maduro that justifies regime change
They thwarted a false flag bombing of the US embassy 7ish days ago. Never saw that on the news but I didn't see it here, either. Probably in one of those mega threads.
we discussed it in the news mega. The US is doing this shit constantly so it kind of washes by us and we forget to make enough hay about these things. Remember just months ago when the trumpian rightwing dipshit in charge of South Korea tried to orchestrate a false flag using US mercenaries to capture the Liberal politicians in government posing as North Korean soldiers?
Gulf of Tonkin says what?
Back in college I read up on the actual incident. South Vietnamese special forces were conducting raids from US Navy ship to destroy North Vietnamese oil refineries. At one point the North Vietnamese pursued the fleeing SV forces, which became the Tonkin Gulf Incident that proceeded into the Vietnam war which killed millions of Vietnamese people and tens of thousands of Americans.
IIRC it's actually even worse, the main part of the incident was the "second" confrontation, which literally never happened because there was no enemy ship and there were no enemy soldiers. There was no second "incident". They just made it up lol.
This is why I have no respect for "don't give them a reason" mfs. As soon as your realize that people looking for an excuse will always find one, you come to recognize that shit for the intellectualized cowardice that it is.
Do not worry. Our democrat allies like Bernard Sanders, AOC and let us not forget Lady Pelosi will actually use all their political power to save millions of venezuelans from war and destruction. I just know it!!
Venezuelan Yellow Coke
So how blown out of proportion are these "gangs" coming out of Venezuela? Surely their government can handle them right and clamp down on drug trafficking?
They're definitely just killing fishermen and saying it's drugs
If they were legitimately interested in proving there was an actual problem, they'd actually detain people
Instead, they're just going to ratchet up the violence until Venezuela responds violently and then use that as pretense for an invasion
Fucked up but it tracks.
It's blown out of proportion to the point where Trump admin is now claiming that Venezuela is run by a cartel.
The vast majority of drugs leaving SA come from Ecuador via the Pacific or Colombia via the Caribbean. This is pure provocation
We should be asking people the question of why would someone go out on high seas, across the entire Caribbean on a boat that small. The government acts like itxs a day trip, which is not the case.
