    US political discourse has been engulfed for 2+ years by hysteria about the ravages of "foreign interference," but no one gives a second thought to the US maneuvering to topple Venezuela's government: kind of more consequential "interference" than Facebook memes. Yup, makes sense

        I rarely disagree with you Michael, and I do not support U.S. regime change wars, but a verbal show of support in Venezuela is not as cut and dry. Maduro regularly imprisons any opposition, and Guaidó was himself detained immediately after being elected president of the assembly.

        I’m receptive to other perspectives, but Guaidó also wasn’t recognized by the U.S. in isolation. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala… much of Latin America immediately recognized Guaidó. (I support NO U.S. military intervention.)

        It's strange that the putin puppet is once again in the process of trying to overthrow 1 of Russia's top allies (Syria, Iran, now Venezuela). Also how much do you want to bet that if Trump does back down from this *seems unlikely* the corporate democrats will say its the pp tape

        The US didn't declare the interim president, they're recognizing Venezuela's parliament for voting in one after the fraudulent last election by not recognizing Maduro as president after declaring himself the winner before any votes were counted.

        Backing a certain opponent is “maneuvering to topple a government”? Really?? A bit of a stretch don’t you think?

        Not quite. The US is resisting Maduro's orders to have its diplomats leave the country. They're also recognizing the Venezuelan Supreme-Court-in-exile (a parallel Supreme Court). Basically there are two competing power structures & the US is picking a side to give legitimacy.

        There is a difference tho. US is doing it openly. Declared to the entire world. Not sneaking around.

        Yes and they have been maneuvering since 2002. Sanctions, attempted assassination etc. See Ron Paul institute for more info.

        It's one thing to invade with a military to topple a government. It's something else to just not acknowledge that government as legitimate. Which countries can choose to do for whatever reason.

        All along, Russiagaters have dismissed examples of US interference in foreign countries as "whataboutism" that has no relevance.

        Hypocrisy is Foreign Policy's hidden middle name. I struggle to think of a government or country that doesn't practice hypocrisy in its foreign relations. Just a matter of degree.

        Apparently the US is attempting to set a record for hypocrisy that can never be broken.
