@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.

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 😂

> 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!

Even iPod to Firewire cables existed and AFAIK the first iPhones, the 2G ones, still supported them. Apple used to be somewhat better at retaining compatibility than now.

@DotardTed Children are lighter, maybe they don't gain enough momentum to roll outside of it, but it still looks very unsafe 😱

@Renegade_GDI@mastodon.world You are right it's way older than that. Here in Russia many believe that a lot of bad things came out of Soviet times, but in fact they predate SU by ages.
My people doesn't know its own history as it gets rewritten for every generation. Most, even the educated ones, believe that Napoleon invaded in 1812 because he wanted to capture their land. A few know about continental blockade of UK and that Russia itself failed to uphold its end of deal, not outright refused,just sabotaged it
@Renegade_GDI@mastodon.world Old trick from KGB playbook — trying to negotiate while it still looks like he has control over what's happening on the front lines. The recent desperate attacks are part of this — so no one realizes that manpower is already spread thin. Once Ukraine brings newly received equipment to operational status the frontline will cave in and it would be hard to convince general public that negotiations make any sense. Rumors of Belarus joining the war effort are also part of this.
@neural_meduza Главное чтобы в этот раз как следует отремонтировали, динозавров вернули.

@Rezard Yo, my dudes!
@gemlog Well, what can I say then? You're blessed to have them and not pigeons or plants that cause chemical burn 😂
@gemlog E.g. these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_sosnowskyi
Or poplar trees in big cities, where they still cause trouble for the ones allergic to them during summer.
And most of all, the pigeons! I'm not sure about Americas, but in Europe I think they at least try to control their population, not here in Russia, they are like rats — flying rats that are everywhere 😅
But then again… Deer — that's a nice animal and a useful one! Sounds like something out of the ordinary in my book 😄
