It will be a great boon for Venezuelans to have someone in leadership that can create a social and economic system that allows people to meet their basic needs and even prosper again. Maduro had inspiring words but he didn't know how to make the system work and motivate people to cooperate.

As American forces are wiped out, we will be fed tales of triumph and victory. All sides do this in wartime. We are at war right now.<br /><br />Anyway, average Americans only pay attention to what their government says, not what the government does. Foreign powers are the opposite (e.g. Russia and China). They know that the US and UK governments constantly boast, brag, threaten, and strut about. They don’t move unless the bluff and bluster is accompanied by action. <br /><br /><b>One other thing:</b> Russia is not concerned with right or wrong. Russia is only concerned with Russia, and therefore would only intervene in Venezuela if doing so were crucial to Russia’s interests. <br /><br /><i> “Washington managed to frame and remove from power the female reformist president of Argentina and to replace her with a right-wing Washington puppet.”</i> ~ PCR<br /><br />To be fair, a President in the USA and Argentina can only serve two consecutive terms, and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had finished her second term. Her successor, Mauricio Macri, is an <b><i> ultra-</i></b>neoliberal elitist who has accepted the largest IMF loans in IMF history. As a result, Argentina has become a nightmare so horrendous that the corporate media outlets stay silent about it. <br /><br />The Argentine masses want Cristina Fernández to run again for president. Hence the current government has fabricated bogus charges against her, and will imprison her if she runs again, or if she makes any trouble for the neoliberals. <br /><br /><i> “Washington interfered in the French election by framing the likely socialist candidate, Dominique Strauss-Kahn on a bogus rape charge that fell apart after removing Strauss-Kahn from contention.”</i> ~ PCR<br /><br />Strauss-Kahn was in a position to do serious damage to neoliberalism. Therefore he had to go. French President Nicolas Sarkozy helped him become managing director of the IMF in 2007. Things were fine until Strauss-Kahn decided to run for the French presidency, succeeding Sarkozy, and said that as president he would expose IMF evil, and serve the French people. Therefore the IMF concocted a plot to remove him in May 2011, while President Sarkozy distracted the French masses by increasing his bombardment of Libya. <br /><br /><i> “The American leftwing blames Washington for the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile, although my views on this are different. Nevertheless, the claim fits the pattern.”</i> ~ PCR <br /><br /><b> WHOOPS.</b> PCR adores Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, since they gave him jobs in the US government. Therefore nothing they ever did was less than saintly. Even when PCR admits that something was evil (e.g. the Chile coup) it was saintly. He praises Marx, but also praises the Chile coup because it was “anti-Marxist.” At age 79, PCR has still not matured past this silliness.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-86340551255947069182019-01-24T13:44:44.286-05:002019-01-24T13:44:44.286-05:00The Strauss-Kahn situation was a classic textbook ...The Strauss-Kahn situation was a classic textbook case of a set up with a sex scandal. I don't know which banker or other powerful person he pissed off or what he did, but they went after him 18 different ways and they all ended up to be horseshit. The only surprising thing is they weren't able to get anything to stick. He did make himself an easy target with his penchant for orgies though. That was the best part, being French he didn't even try to deny going to orgies like an American politician would do... In France, politicians are practically required to have mistresses.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197727918414570446noreply@blogger.com
