This year, the legislative arm in Washington has introduced three bills in the U.S. Congress against Venezuela: the Prohibition of Transactions and Leases with Venezuela’s Illegitimate Authoritarian Regime Act, the Venezuelan Human Rights “AFFECT” Act and the Venezuelan Democracy Act. The bills have a common denominator: to further increase the pressure of the blockade and impose on it a framework of “humanitarian assistance”.

      Really? I think after watching repubs like Kissinger start wars in Latina America and SE Asia for 50 years they’re kinda sick of it.

        With liberals I don’t mean democrats, I mean neoliberals which include both democrats and republicans. I mean, maybe they haven’t actively been financing terrorists group in the region as often as they did but they are obviously in bed with local oligarchies, carteles and what not.

    How much brain rot is required to say “a blockade for humanitarian assistance”?
