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.

    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.
