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.

    Are you blaming Thatcher? Except the Falklands war was completely the fault of the Argentinian junta. The junta was growing unpopular and wanted to invade the islands to artificially shore up their approval ratings. Thatcher, for all her faults, did consider giving up Falklands to prevent a war, but the locals in the islands are completely loyal to the British so handing over the islands to the Argentines is out of the question.

    Edit: as expected, Lemmy and their wilful ignorance as always.
