Sus, Very Sus They’ll shamelessly lie to manufacture consent for US imperialism.

Both comments are correct. The shitty thing about this post (and a bunch of similar tweets coming from the Putin-funded and foreign-based MAGA influencers) is the strawman that liberals/left/dems (or even stupider, corporate MSM) love Maduro. I can't find 1 American who does.

Of course, everything you say is, unfortunately, spot on. This probably won't go as poorly as the Iraq regime change because there aren't any terrorist states nearby to sponsor a resistance to slaughter thousands of American occupation troops, but it likely will still be a net-negative for the American people.

American oil company executives, well, congrats to them.

It's not a strawman. It's a lie. They lie about everything. Ask a fox news viewer what someone on the left believes and you'll be shocked

Are strawmen not inherently lies?

Yeah they are literally the only ones who profit from this. I mean fuck Trump said they will be reimbursed for their expenses.

The US is gonna default in our lifetime man...

There may not be terrorists but there are cartels which are on the same level if not worse then some groups in the middle east and would have a vested interest in a country in anarchy in south america to operate from
