U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.

          It’s not an ad hominem to make a joke pointing out that there was an attempted coup in the US three years ago

            Its ad hominem to say I’m in a coma, ableist. Yes I fucking know a coup was attempted. The US has a long history to the present about backing coups across the world. JFC.

              Just to double down on my ableism, you may want a doctor to examine your paper thin skin

      You must have missed the news. That was a few years ago.

        Nope, didn’t miss that. Those assholes aren’t getting enough jail time. But that wasn’t the point.
