The European Union heaped further international pressure Sunday (4 August) on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, joining Washington and Latin American nations in refusing to recognize the win he has claimed in the recent election marked by fraud allegations.
The latest rejection comes as Venezuela’s opposition backed outside calls for the results of last week’s disputed presidential vote to be published, as the Pope said Venezuelans must “seek the truth” and warned against further violence.
They can stop selling weapons and bombs to Saudi Arabia? Just a little idea, you know, just from the top of my head.
Of course i would appreciate it if we stopped selling weapons.
The West is not perfect by any means. (and I noticed you skipped answering my question about dictators with EU support)
My point is that country leaders have limited influence. They can’t influence everything like you seem to suggest
I have never said that they should do anything (except stop selling weapons). My entire point, the entire way through this conversation, is that they have a double standard. I was just pointing that out - the ruling elite of “the West” don’t truly care whether a country is a dictatorship or not, they only care about how willing they to go along with their hegemonic interests.
If they were truly opposed to dictatorships, they would not arm them. Therefore, they don’t actually fucking care. It’s a pretty tight proof.
