    Michael Tracey Retweeted Jeremy Corbyn

    "The future of Venezuela is a matter for Venezuelans" is such a simple, easily-understandable sentiment, but most US (and UK) politicians are totally incapable of comprehending it. Corbyn, unsurprisingly, is a notable exceptionhttps://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/1091370347650260992 …

    Michael Tracey added,

    The future of Venezuela is a matter for Venezuelans. @Jeremy_Hunt's call for more sanctions on Venezuela is wrong. We oppose outside interference in Venezuela, whether from the US or anywhere else. There needs to be dialogue and a negotiated settlement to overcome the crisis.

        Ever since "open borders" became an aspirational goal of woke people, respecting sovereignty of any nation is considered a regressive value.

        Remember the ridiculous R2P (Responsibility To Protect) doctrine? It was always designed to provide cover for military interventions to maintain systems of oppression and exploitation.

        If the press for one moment considered how we'd react if some other country (not Russia) decided to "save us" from Trump and/or Russia, seized assets, parked its military on the Mexican border--the hubris of the US re Venezuela (and many other countries) would be clear.

        Michael. Much of the cognitive dissonance is intentional. That is truly sad, but it is our present reality.

        "the US government has been shut down for 35 days" sounds like regime change to me, government workers aren't being paid, flights have been grounded because of executive turmoil, government workers in long bread lines. you tell me

        I guess, yeah.. but with a disarmed populace, that could take a while--though admittedly whatever government was founded at the end of it would more likely be held as legitimate by the highest number OF Venezuelans

        Sovereignty is in short supply. The US government delights the people by taunting its Venezuelan counterparts and holding the country to ransom. Corbyn is not saying this ingenuously. He is calculating every word to have the desired effect of improving his popularity.

        Well they are fellow travelers. If the opposition was Jewish, anti Semite @jeremycorbyn would have a twofer. 🇺🇸 has been at odds with Venezuela since Chavez and shown remarkable restraint. See zero issues with giving the govt a push off the ledge. Similar to sanctions against 🇿🇦.

        yes, sadly sanctions will cause more hardship. BUT, DPRK allows population starvation rather than change policies because of sanctions violaters.
