I mean, you could barely afford food, so, understandably en…

Fascism isn’t some distant or hypothetical threat
— it is already here.
Unmarked vans and masked agents snatch students off the streets without due process.
Judges and lawyers are intimidated.
The most powerful institutions in society
— universities, tech firms, law firms, billionaires, legislators
— preemptively prostrate themselves to an autocratic leader’s whims,
not because they are forced to,
but because they calculate that accommodatio…

Parts of the Argentine Pampas, a vast expanse of flat grasslands, look more like wetlands these days following record rains, with local farmers warning of a "catastrophic" impact to their livelihoods.

Every dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

Argentina calls on ICC to order arrest of Venezuela's Maduro
Buenos Aires argues that recent actions of Nicolas Maduro's government could constitute crimes against humanity, asking for Maduro to be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court.

the Question I have will be this:
Will Venezuela try to quickly procure #RussiaUkraineWar inspired military drone materiel (ie. cheap, numerous) beforehand to use in defense... and is the American war machine, particularly the Navy, ready for that?
Don't be too surprised if at the start of things Venezuela pulls off some surprisingly destructive actions not unlike Argentina vs UK in the Falklands with French exocets.
