    The choice isn't between "defend Maduro" or "condemn Maduro." That's a rhetorical trap. For the purposes of US politicians, simply declining to validate the logic of the current US-directed regime change operation would be sufficient

        But isn't the suffering of the Venezuelan people part of the equation? We can say their economy is garbage and also say we don't want the help.

        I think people do want to help, but they're believing propaganda that convinces them the way to help is to support a coup. Helping would be removing the sanctions and sending actual aid through the Red Cross.

        Agree on the false binary, but isn’t it a reasonable position to criticize the treatment of protesters?

        When the US is actively engineering a coup, making that one's focus is suspect.

        If the cia can get away with toppling Maduro in this way so that they can grab Venezuelan #OILandGAS.... I predict they will do the same thing against AMLO & Mexico. Don't dare BDS israel, but sanction anyone that won't let you grab their resources. (kissingerism)

        The best rhetoric would be to condemn the US military intervention tactics while suggesting authentic humanitarian aid.

        Yes, that is correct. Bernie (actually his staff) could either have not tweeted about it or clarified that they did not believe it was business of USA to interfere in affairs of another sovereign country

        As long as nobody gets shot, it wouldn’t be any worse then the “regime change” that the national security state abetted by DNC ‘n CNN & MSNBC have tried pulling in Washington DC the past 26 months.

        Hey Mike. The issue is Venezuela is a petrostate in a bust cycle. The issue is who gets the spoils. You know the answer to this because its in the western hemisphere.https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/venezuela-crisis …

        It was "busted" by the U.S. oil corps. But no more. Now the "spoils" remain with its people.

        It would be nice if the argument wasn't prefaced with "well maduro is a bad guy but--" Character assassination is one of the first tactic used to garner complicity...

        This NYT piece says plan is to "peacefully import foreign aid". Not entirely true - some are using the aid to try to pick a fight. Article also says convoys are a "test" of Guaido's credibility. But he doesn't control anything - so what are we testing? https://nyti.ms/2GFbFlz

        One of the choices is between condemnation and acceptance. Another is between "Oppose food/water/medicine to oppose empire or "Support food/medicine even if you dont want to see invasion". Etc.

        Read “ny daily” article referring to macabe and colleagues as instiutionalists. Not true! They knew the Dossier was unverified and used it as early as 7-16 to obtain fisa to spy and remove trump after if he was elected . Call it what it was- Treason!

        Right, and adding that the sanctions have exacerbated #Venezuela's problems, lifting them is the correct action to begin sincere negotiations as to what diplomatic and financial role the US and the global community could play to HELP stabilize VN.
