I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

Yeah I was just wondering if anyone's even bothered to ask a Venezuelan at all or are they just repeating something someone made up like usual. I'm also assuming anyone who brings up Taiwan whataboutistim out of nowhere is a bot too, it's so irrelevant.

It's really wild how people are talking about Taiwan, a country that hasn't been invaded. Hasn't had its leader kidnapped.

China keeps saying shit but doesn't do it, because it's better for them to talk shit than actually get the political and economic suicide of invading Taiwan. I think China will keep saying "we're gonna do it, we're gonna get Taiwan" and not do it, like they have for decades.
