Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Krasnov and Delcy share a lot in common, especially the dictator bit. Go to hell, both of you.

What is she complaining about? All the countries in the world have been taking and following orders from the US for the last 75 years and have been happy about it. They don't like offensive comments from the current president. But orders? Just give us more!

lololololol

These dumb bastards always, always think 'he'll never turn on me!' despite literal decades of evidence to the contrary.

Bye, Del-cy-sha.

Ok, I don't wish her harm or any ill will. I just know that, in this meat grinder of international diplomacy, theres a cost if she tries to push back on Lord Farquaad's wishes. He's already promised he would harm her — like every other woman he's ever encountered.

Beneath the politics, almost certainly, Delcy Rodriguez and María Corina Machado both want what will benefit Venezuelans. Or, perhaps, they only want to serve their own supporters. Regardless, neither of these women will gain from participating in the Game of Thrones that Washington has engaged.

Also, Angela Means's quest to vindicate Felisha has merit. Much is assumed about her. Few, if any, care for her. These are the stories we promote. This is the world we promote.

Wait, isn't she the one who conspired with the US for the position she now holds in the first place?

Edit for those who doubted:

No, she was the second in the regime.

The Trump admin felt it was probably more effective to give the current regime a slap to let them know who is calling the shots, but otherwise leave the regime largely intact. If they can just get the same Venezuela as it already existed, just as a vassal state, mission accomplished.

Versus Machado, who was the opposition leader trying to ingratiate herself with Trump up to giving him her peace prize in hopes of having the US implement her indirect electoral victory in 2024. Trump administration has shown zero interest in making that happen.
