    Ok, don’t trust the USA, but most of the region countries who confirmed Maduro lost the elections and only Colombia and Brazil are on the sidelines but asking for the tallies of the election to Maduro’s administration.

    Damn, even Kristina K. In Argentina asked Maduro to release the results as this was "tainting Chavez legacy ".

    For decades, the word ‘dictatorship’ was associated in Latin America with Pinochet.

    For the new generation, this is happening with Maduro and ‘being left-wing.’ This is why Boric and Lula are so active.

    Maduro is causing historical damage to the left in the region, and each day that passes since he was exposed, the damage becomes more irreversible.

      So, your argument is we should support the right-wing, capitalist, genocidal Likud -affiliated Machado and Gonzalez; because Maduro is damaging the reputation of “socialism” in South America?

        No. I’m asking you to see who got the most votes. If that’s not your measure of what democracy is, I’m not sure you’re adding anything into the conversation.

          No, you want me to agree with you. And even if I did, it doesn’t matter, the election has been decided. Even if Maduro lost, he stays. Venezuelans should decide their future, not outside influence.

              Nations that chart a self-defining course, seeking to use their land, labor, natural resources, and markets as they see fit, free from the smothering embrace of the US corporate global order, frequently become a target of defamation. Their leaders often have their moral sanity called into question by US officials and US media, as has been the case at one time or another with Castro, Noriega, Ortega, Qaddafi, Aristide, Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, and others.
