This guy (with the Palestine flag) is proof that all political science students will require re-education. They literally go to school to learn to be catastrophically wrong in service of the foreign policy blob.
No respect for those who understand that imperialism is bad only when it affects them personally.
I thought AOC with her IR polisci degree already demonstrated that
Now it makes sense why I did so fuckin bad at my intro to IR class
Clownboy aside, when was the last time US ‘intervention’ objectively went well for the country receiving the intervening?
The US intervention in the Suez Crisis is the most recent I can think of, though it was purely diplomatic.
Follow up question: after the string of catastrophic failures and the killing of millions, why didn’t the government stop?
The lib I work with used to parrot state department talking points such as ‘but it was a dictatorship’ or ‘but what about women’s rights?’, to which I say deal with it with earnest diplomacy (which both myself and now him acknowledging the government doesn’t act in good faith).
What about women’s right to be torn to pieces by US bombs?
Blows my fucking mind that anyone in the US could believe the US gov has any interest in helping the people anywhere. They are literally stripping rights away from people in the US, kidnapping every non-white person they can, doing genocides, etc but yeah this time they’re totally gonna help the people…
I like to think I’ve had some impact by pointing out that the US won’t even increase its own minimum wage, so anything they tell you about the dire need for a humanitarian military intervention elsewhere in the world is definitely going to be bullshit.
WW2
Debatable, considering Germany nowadays
france benefitted, then fumbled the bag when they didn’t leave nato.
What if we frame it as “The US helping out the Soviets”?
In what way is current Germany worse than Nazi Germany? I get that easy dunks are easy dunks, but this doesn’t even make any sense.
The US military intervention came extremely late and essentially only had the (deliberate) effect of saving European fascism from itself so it could be preserved for future use. Germany was not denazified (in fact, the opposite), and German fascism is right on the cusp of becoming overt again.
So, current Germany is worse than Nazi Germany because it may one day become as bad as Nazi Germany again (some 80 years later).
Was the liberation of Ukraine also a net negative since it seems to be teeming with Banderites?
So, current Germany is worse than Nazi Germany
You are literally the only person here who has said this. The point is that US intervention did not go well for Germany because its primary effect was to protect Nazis from consequences. This is an ice-cold take, the Americans didn’t go into Europe for charity, they went into Europe extremely late to prevent the USSR from liberating it themselves and proceeded to protect and empower fascists all over the world.
Was the liberation of Ukraine also a net negative since it seems to be teeming with Banderites?
Ukraine was liberated by the USSR, the Banderites are a cancer that was cultivated for the entire cold war in the Ukrainian diaspora by the CIA before being reintroduced into Ukraine in the 90s. In other words, another example of US intervention in WW2 Europe acting to protect and empower fascism.
If your argument is that the main contribution of US intervention in WW2 was to safeguard the nazis, I don’t know what to say. Keep your idealistic ass posting I guess. I’m done.
In the sense that they’re heading that way again
Why is a pro-Palestine supporter anti-Maduro?
He does not fully understand the core of international geopolitics
Jarvis, update this image to include Venezuela
Literally impossible; try adding a Venezuela flag to Palestine and it wouldn’t represent the guy; add the US flag to Palestine and anti-war-ism is no longer true; there needs to be a ‘doesn’t understand international geopolitics’ section
Hexbear political compass requires at least 5 axes that looks like

I think those are the big five of geopolitical conflicts, I don’t see any room to trim it down tbh.
some consolidation may be possible

Because they think that there is significant indigenous resentment against Maduro to create an easy “kick in the rotting door, and then the real insert idealist government here take over” scenario.
Literally that is the narrative that is circulating online, especially in online Spanish speaking spaces (because, shocker, poor Spanish speaking Venezuelans in Venezuela (who are Maduro’s primary base of support) aren’t going to have a huge online presence and thus will not be heard).
For alot of ‘became politically aware after October 7th’ types (not this poster specifically), this is going to be their first time dealing with the horseshit surrounding Venezuela and Maduro (who is not a particularly fantastic leader, but still better than any reasonable alternative). They are likely going to think whatever the internet groundswell is because that is honestly how many of them came to understand Palestine.
The funny thing is if you truly accept the US government is evil, suddenly reality becomes consistent and everything makes sense
The funniest take is that this will be different than Iraq because there is no ISIS in Venezuela. Ignoring that the invasion of Iraq was the thing that made ISIS establish themselves in Iraq and they only became an influential organisation by moving in after US interventions.
That worked out so well in Afghanistan
I know I see that narrative everywhere in Guatemala. I guess I was more surprised that someone who appears to be Palestinian (could be dead wrong on that) is anti-Maduro after all the Palestinian smearing the Atlanticist’s have been doing.
Bot or radlib, take your pick
theres a lot of them on twitter/social media unfortunately
Radlib
“Take this down right now, I promise you I am a fascist”
What kind of man has all those flags at once? No man.
A massive idiot
I don’t exactly understand what the palestinian supporter poster is saying, aside from clown pavlou.
Like, what do you mean by ‘I want Venezuelans to live’? Are you not advocating for US intervention if you believe Maduro bad? Unless you believe there is a non-US backed anti-Maduro faction that’ll somehow spring up.
