    The evil empire should keep their filthy hands off Venezuela and a lot of the stuff we get from there is probably exaggerated or outright lies. But still, Maduro can be really hard to root for sometimes.

      My barely informed take is that Chavez was good but Maduro is eh and can't really hold a candle to Chavez. Am I off by a lot?

        Well he probably isn't as good a public speaker and Maduro is in a lot more difficult situation economically. Maduro and his wife were obviously close friends of Chavez and advised him.

      It kinda bolsters the claims of the article when you completely ignore its content. But go off on whataboutism if deflection is the goal.

                    You literally never asked this. You posted some cynical old bullshit, got called out, and started attacking people.

                    Why should people waste time engaging when you clearly have no intention to?

              Perhaps the better question is why information that challenges your mode of binary thinking feels like such an existential threat that you immediately default to a paranoid state of mind.

              Not everything you don't like is an op.

      My guess is that the article fails to mention

      Or you can read the article. And yeah, it doesn't mention that. But it does mention Venezuela is struggling to get doses of the vaccine, which might be the reason why Maduro is pulling this gambit.

      The US and Big Pharma are actively killing people by politicizing their vaccine distribution model.

                  She objectively fucking helped him hide his identity as a pedo rapist in order to get him work in her campaign, this isnt guilt by association its literally supporting a fucking pedo, fuck you for trying to tell me that I am somehow conjuring the fascist association of "trans women are pedos" when she literally fucking did this. Fuck you for trying to push any "mental anguish" she may feel over this onto me, literally just go fuck yourself and don't fucking talk to me again, dickhead.

      A normal response to this headline: "lol"

      A hexbear.net response to this headline: "This is an op, Venezuela's covid response is way better than US, reuters bad"

      Maduro is a politician, and just like all the other politicians, will do dumb stuff from time to time. Just laugh at it.

                Is this your way of saying "Fake news"? You're a half dozen comments into this thread and seem to keep alluding to it.

                        Venezuela’s National Academy of Medicine in a statement late on Monday said Carvativir “has therapeutic potential against coronavirus.”

                        “Nonetheless, it is prudent to wait for more data from the Carvativir tests ... to consider it a candidate for an anti-COVID-19 medication,” reads the statement.

                        Maduro was far too enthusiastic about an experimental treatment, so now we need to cancel him and PSUV (the only socialist organization of any significance in Venezuela) and join the right-wing opposition in amplifying attacks against a US regime change target.
