I knew the fix was in for Venezuela when the oligarchs bought the Nobel prize committee.

Colonialism is a team sport.

Canada did the same. Every government that disagrees with NATO establishment is an illegitimate autocratic dictator according to NATO.... by coincidence. There is never any evidence of fraud. Only massive CIA/NGO funding of destabilization that people must be forced to accept, or vote is illegtimate.

Where's the refusal mentioned in the title?

In the picture.

I expect a ton of down votes for this, but here we go.

The EU needs to gain power through independence before providing a different response. The complicated task will be to protect and solidify personal liberty in the process.

The strongest players want the EU to disperse because they know, that this is the best way to keep criticism at bay. The problem is that the EU is in it's design deeply undemocratic and non European but nationalistic...

The EU has been saying that for like decades though and they never do. At this point their "powerlesness" is just a shield they use to waive away responsibility.

Yeah, what should we do? Sanctions on the US? We are more dependent on US then they are on Europe so that will backfire massively. The best is probably to work on independence from US, for example we are very dependent on the payment processors which are American.

I mean Trump is an illegitimate president, also a convicted felon with countless bankruptcies, child sex trafficking,attempted destruction of evidence, impending due justice, election tampering, too much more to list.

It's amazing how Trump can just rip the mask off and scream "we're gonna steal their oil!" and pigshit fucking liberals will hem and haw about Maduro's legitimacy.

It is shameful how our politicians provide cover for these monsters. It is an absolute disgrace and an expression of how cowardly and weak our governments are.

We urgently need to break away from this mafia state, but our so-called representatives bow down to the orange child molester and his god-damned Nazi crew. Disgusting!

Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.

May the empire and its vassals fall.

What legitimacy has the Saud family? Or any of the other dictatorships the EU and the US gives support?

Vassal states support the empire. 🤷
