    The U S and Israel belong at the top of this list.

    I hope that future historians will use UN security council testimony as a fairly objective measure of the extent of the American Empire. All you need to do is observe the ambassadors who flagrantly ignore the central principles of the UN charter to parrot US war propaganda and you have a clear approximation of states which the US controls.

    The most knowledgeable remarks are always made by Jeffrey Sachs.

    The US delegate’s statement was astonishingly arrogant and entitled. He completely ignored the facts – previously stated by others – that neither Mr Maduro nor the Venezuelan government were relevant to the UNSC.

    The only relevant issue was that the USA had spurned the UN Charter by launching yet another unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation.

    The man’s air of superiority was unbelievable. He even spoke of Tren de Aragua, which even the US government has now admitted to be imaginary.

    He said, in effect, that if the UNSC did not agree with his government “what kind of organisation is this?” In other words, if the UN disagrees with the USA, so much the worse for the UN.

    The best response would be to move the UN to another country.

      Yes! It’s long past time to move the UN to the global south and eliminate permanent SC membership. All countries are treated equally. No more vetoes to protect Israel or violate international law. All countries subject to the rulings of the ICJ. South Africa would be a good choice.

    The daily ritual we need to employ as these actions distract from epstein
    Each day an obligatory google and youtube search for “epstein” , hit enter .
    If no interest or enough time to click any videos to watch , that act alone make keep it revelant at top or search results to not let it slip away from being highlighted .
    Else do it then move on to the days distraction .
    Just a thought , a quasi click or subscribe .

    Simply disgraceful and repulsive what the Washington-Zio-militarist empire pulled off in Caracas.

    I want all the servants of TPTB to face justice someday, I want them in the dock. It’s the media propagandists at all levels that should pay a cost for supporting this crime. Neocon mouthpieces across the media spectrum must be held to account.

    Liberal mouthpieces who give us the claptrap about how, “Maduro’s a dictator but I don’t support what Trump did…” must be distrusted immediately and shunned from intellectual discussion.

    The Bolivarian Revolution decreased child malnutrition, poverty rates, and illiteracy rates. Anyone who scoffs at these achievements is a piece of scum trash, absolute trash.

    RIP to the 30 valiant Cuban soldiers who died protecting a people’s champion.
