His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.
…
It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.
The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.
But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.
You really just went straight for the whataboutism? The US and Venezuela can both do bad things.
And? How is this at all relevant to holding Maduro accountable?
Why does the U.S. need to hold Maduro accountable at all? Venezuela is a sovereign country. People got upset when Russia meddled in America’s election. How is it okay for the U.S. to meddle in Venezuela’s? Sanctions. Funding opposition parties. Take it to the UN 🇺🇳 and respect their decision. The world is growing tired of America policing their internal politics and their choice of diplomatic allies.
Because Maduro is screwing with our allies in South America. But also because supporting actual free and fair elections is the right thing to do.
And you’re so hyped up on this America whataboutism you’ve missed that the majority of South America is also calling bullshit.
Is Panama interfering? Colombia? Peru? Qatar? The UN? They’ve all been critical of this election too. Or is it just when the US is critical?
I don’t know. And anyone claiming they do is not objective.
But we do know that the U.S. has a history of interfering in elections in South America, especially in Venezuela in 2002 and 2019. Knowing this, it is reasonable to believe that this election was manipulated for American interests. Until more information is revealed, it’s just a case of “he said, she said.”
Dude, the opposition party already emailed everyone the literal receipts.
And no it’s not reasonable to just assume the US did some mumbo jumbo without evidence.
Believe what you want, but I’ll wait for more information before making conclusions.
Right, how much more information do you need? You want to bring America into this as a whataboutism? This is the exact same kind of stuff America says about Israel. And it doesn’t smell any better here.
