Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado said military escalation is the “only” way to remove authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro from power.
“The increase in pressure and the escalation that’s taken place is the only way to force Maduro to understand that it’s time to go,” and “facilitate a peaceful and orderly transition,” Machado told Bloomberg.
The comments come as the Trump administration has reportedly made the decision to strike military facilities inside Venezuela, with attacks potentially taking place at any time.
this is why you purge your enemies permanently, ffs she participated in 2002 coup
Why bother purging her? She might be replaced by someone less bad at her job.
Incredible that they had to give her a Nobel prize to try to recover even a shred of credibility for her.
she is passable at her job, it’s
and gonzales (?) who are wet blankets. i mainly talking about porky class, but states not bringing ultimate sanctions to people actively participating in treason, now for 20 years running is like (???)i mainly talking about porky class, but states not bringing ultimate sanctions to people actively participating in treason, now for 20 years running is like (???)

need to purge all of them, as they come
Because that might give the next bourgeois comprador pause. They’re perfectly fine with others doing the dying for them.
“Many of you may die, but I’ll make off like a bandit, so it’s a sacrifice Im willing to make.”

go to fucking hell i swear to god i will not fedpost
Thank god they gave that prize to Kissinger years ago so we all knew this shit was inevitable
Peace is prostrating yourself to us empire, got it, thanks guys, this totally isn’t another sigh-inducing example of Europe siding with USA hegemony
Fucking gusano. Absolute scum and her idiot supporters deserve to be boiled alive.

Chairman Guzman, welcome to the resistance!
Least bloodthirsty nobel peace prize winner
The only way to remove a leader elected by their own people is by violent military force? You don’t say…
Nobel Peace Prize. Hmm…
I feel like her getting the Nobel Peace Prize led to Trump being briefed about her, which led him to approving regime change in Venezuela. It would be wild if the awarding of a Nobel Peace Prize directly led to a war.

Trump tried regime change in Venezuela during his first term. These lab-grown neolib compradors like Guaido and Machado are usually in touch with the CIA for years before these things kick off. Regime change in Venezuela has been on the imperial agenda since Chavez.
Here is a photo from the failed coup attempt circa 2019
Hey this photo doesn’t show the piss stream
It does
sorry I wasn’t wearing my glasses
i spil my piss
War. Huh. What is it good for? Accruing Nobel prizes apparently…
The Nobel Peace prize is not one of the Nobel prizes. It’s entirely separateEdit: I am wrong
No, you’re thinking of the economics one. The peace prize is official Nobel.
Oh really?!?
Yep
Ty
Little Marco Rubio was on direct communication with the Nobel committee. He told them to give the award to Trump, they replied they could give it to anyone but Trump, so Rubio told them to give it to this bozo. Trump definitely was involved in the choice beforehand.
This is actually quite consistent with what a committee made up of five members of the Norwegian political elite would consider “peace”.
Garbage in, garbage out.
nobel war prize is funny if nothing else
War is Peace
her and Kissinger would get alongI dont get the joke but it was a fun boss fight
Kissinger won a Nobel Peace prize, despite being largely responsible for much of latter 20th century US foreign policy.
Maria Corina Machado wins a Nobel Peace prize, then a week later is endorsing armed conflict.
I’m implying the Nobel Peace prize is no better than a cynical fictional trinket that “absolves the bearer of all crimes past and future”.
true
She has to be horrible because the only support base she has is the us military. Well maybe some conquistador larpers inside the country or whatever amazonian kulak is still running around.
Giving trump the peace prize would have been too obvious
