You're obviously just trolling. The US is still a solid democracy - a country you disagree with, sure. In a couple years Trump will be out and life goes on. As for Maduro, he's a dictator - he needed to go. He works closely with Iran, Russia and with China doing very nefarious things.

I agree however that Trump is largely self centered and this is a risk. Oil should not be the goal here, it should be the freedom of the Venezuelans.

It is not a solid democracy if the only two political parties are largely aligned on most issues, leaving citizens helpless to change the way the uni party functions.

As for foreign policy, yes the United States is a terrorist state and has been for a long time.

You can literally go to DC and hold up a board saying "United States is a terrorist state" and not be arrested.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

It tells me that doing that is a meaningless performance. If it weren't, they'd actually try to actively ban it. Look at all the anti-BDS legislation for an example.

USA bombed iraq, killed thousands of civilians USA bombed libya, killed thousands of civilians USA funding israel, killing thousands of civilians USA bombed vietnam, killed thousands of civilians and the list goes on.

I am not trolling, USA is built on white supremacy by genocide of native americans and is sustained by war because military industrial complex needs to sell their weapons so some american can afford starbucks.

America is a terrorist state, far from democracy where avg citizen doesnt even know the crimes of their govt. Just few days ago their whole leadership was revealed to be sinister pedophiles and americans basically did nothing. Americans are the most propagandized people ever

Not to forget with which moral superiority you are calling out countries allying with russia an china. USA itself does trade with China
