Beyond saying “Maduro is still president” has Delcy Rodríguez done literally anything to oppose the US in any capacity since becoming acting president? Has she said “No” even once?
Realistically, what would you want her to do? She doesn’t have many options. I’m not saying she’s a great leader. Maybe she really is a rat, and in some years we’ll get reporting to confirm that. But for now, I;'m just seeing a leader/country in an impossible situation.
it’s possible the bolivarian revolution even comes out stronger because of this. The kidnapping hurt the legitimacy of the opposition, and if she’s able to get sanctions lifted while oil prices go back to Chavez-era prices, then the economy might recover.
This is just a facile thing to say in the context of the US floundering in Iran. It is also just generally facile. “Yes sir mr. great satan sir” isn’t an inevitable and incontrovertible axiom to which all politics are subject.
The idea that no resistance is possible and that we must all bow before the great hegemon is…
I mean it’s pathetic? Beyond being pathetic it’s also just totally dismissive of all the resistance that is actually happening all across the world.
Realistically, what would you want her to do?
Not hand over people the US just released to your custody, not allow the US to tell Venezuela where the oil goes, not meet up with the leader of the CIA to set up strategic partnerships.
You know, basic shit.

Iran has a much bigger, more experienced military, more territory, more people, and is significantly farther from the US than venezuela. The US is floundering because of rockets and drones, not words.

Again, it’s been less than 6 months. if they’re still doing all these concessions the rest of the year, then I might join you in declaring US victory.
And of course there is absolutely no middle ground between open collaboration with the CIA, handing over control of your country’s oil exports and delivering prisoners to the US on one hand and defeating the US militarily on the other. Those are your only options.
Also no one except Iran has done any resistance, there are no smaller groups that have resisted US imperalism under much worse conditions to draw upon for the types of resistance you could do except shoot at them, no one except Iran has ever told Trump no. And hey, the DPRK isn’t real, and the Houthis are imaginary while we’re at it.

oh ok
I mean those must be your fucking beliefs, otherwise what you said is a pile of nonsense.
oh. Now I get it. The sarcasm made it incomprehensible before. Thank you for the clarification.
