Once the political center of gravity shifts decisively towards the left in the US, you're going to see white liberals use woke identity politics to deny any racial or ethnic component in American politics.

It's already happening with Ilhan Omar.

i have mixed opinions about smollett, on one hand he did lie to the police and i approve of that

but he filed a police report which is a big no no

all the stuff that got unsealed has had more info on that, apparently he asked someone else at the scene specifically to not report it to the police but they did anyway

not sure what he lied to the police about, anything anybody on the outside heard was straight from the lyin lips of the CPD

Trump is... pro-talks? I don't think he really cares what Pence and Bolton are doing honestly.

Trump always defaults to wanting to do talks, his deal making brain worms are all that is driving the only part of his presidency that isn't a worst case scenario

I think the allegations imply that Guaido himself didn't participate in any of the fun stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, but that fits the profile of a clean looking ex-Best Buy employee turned "engineer."

the risk is that if nationalization happens, the us will mass murder a bunch of venezuelans and maybe columbians, tell the media (who will buy it uncritically) that maduro did it, and then full on invade.

we're already either doing that or just a half step away from doing that, though

Maduro should just arm his supporters and tell them where all the rich people grocery stores with food are, then give them standing orders to bring in every single American they see on the assumption that they're spies or wreckers

I'm not sure exactly what good nationalization would do at this point since Venezuela is already a food importer. The state isn't going to be capable of importing foods any better than private companies under the conditions of the embargo.

the affluent and whiter enclaves aren't having food shortages, claim that and distribute it fairly

if any of them object, expropriate their homes and revoke their citizenship, let them go begging to the imperialists like worked out so well for the defectors

the goal is to kill the poorest of Venezuelan citizens until they agree to let the US come in and steal everything that isn't nailed down and leave them with a puppet to keep the spoils flowing northward while rewarding the colonial collaborators who were spared from the initial killings as well

there's literally nothing else there, there is no humanitarian or just motive to anything, you cannot pitch a situation where anything gets even a little bit better in any tiny way wherein the US is also still involved in any way, shape, or form, because it's fundamentally incoherent, unless you consider "the rich get richer and the poor are turned into slaves" as getting better

if you got rid of the food stamp and other types of welfare programs in the US, the US would have food riots

again

because the US had mass food riots in the great depression

and the US had mass food riots not because there was not enough food, but because people did not have access to food

just because there is mass hunger in a country absolutely does not mean the problem is not enough food. in the US, the government was literally paying businesses to mass destroy food

weren't the "food riots" just people walking into stores with food and taking it because it was just rotting on the shelf thanks to efforts of the US gov to destroy food stockpiles to keep the prices up despite mass poverty
