@gemlog He's an asshole alrite! But he did have a bright mind, he did what was in US interests even if that involve supporting total assholes all around the world, and he stayed in his right mind till his very death. His words about Russia's actions in Ukraine in 2014 were spot on:

@neural_meduza Когда обзор от Батикова?

@gemlog
There are a bunch of counterexamples, Afghanistan being the most recent one. USSR and US made a mess that will turn into a major international clusterfuck pretty soon, then US is like: "Oops, I'm outta here!", again betraying their allies and leaving people behind and what's left of USSR now commits to trade agreements with Taliban, while still considering them terrorists — you can't mention Taliban in Russian press without noting they are a terrorist organisation. What?! Yes!

Exactly! People grow up thinking things are black and white, but… they never are 😔
> benevolent world policeman
Not at all! Just like regular cops (you know, I LOVE boys in blue 😆) most of the time they do outrageous shit, but sometimes they do solve problems. And these are a couple of examples of US actions that are often badged as pure evil, while… they are not!
@publius

@gemlog Sorry for using my other account to reply, I just didn't want to split it into five parts 😄

Do these people exist?! For real? 😮

I've been using Sway for over a year and it's the first time I noticed it! By accident, when I was selecting text close to the edge.
Well, I don't have these 1-pixel borders for nothing 😅

@gemlog US is of course evil and opportunistic, betraying their ally like that is a good example, but it doesn't make Maduro the good guy. And he's not bad by association only either.
@Maya @publius

@gemlog Most are already poor and do not benefit from oil in any way — Maduro and his close associates do! Their life would probably improves as sanctions get lifted.
Unfortunately Maduro falls in favour again as the gap that appeared on oil market after 🇷🇺 was sanctioned has to be filled somehow. Guaidó's name has already disappeared from all the sanction papers. Had the cunning plan to remove Maduro existed, the US would have never done that.
@Maya @publius

@gemlog
True! But I still have your last post bookmarked, I just fail to get in the right mood to write a proper reply 😅
> causing suffering of the people of venezuela by sanctions dictated by the usa
That of course I agree with! But I mean even if US came in guns blazing and removed Maduro from his position, would it be worse for people of Venezuela? What would US do, make them live on minimal wage, pump out all the oil? They are already living like that 😂
@Maya @publius

@gemlog
> He is on RT, because the NYT, NPR, FOX, CNN won't allow criticism of capitalism or the USA.
I agree with that and I think I said that before we even got into the Venezuela debate. A lot of people used RT as a platform just to be heard because the weren't allowed to use more… mainstream media. RT did gain some credibility this way in the US before turning into a full-blown propaganda outlet. Well played!
