Worked with a friend today, got drunk in Vegas and accidentally told him my brutally honest opinion of all our mutual friends…surely I will not regret this
Like, the US is doing this because they want Venezuela’s resources, yes; but they’re doing it because they have failed to overthrow the Bolivarian government and replace it with a government that would give it to them. They’re doing it because after the Zionist entity’s war on Iran demonstrated the inferiority of the US military industrial complex’s interceptor technology, and their total retreat from the South China Sea in the wake of the exponential increase in Chinese naval power, they have been pushed out of many major power-projection theatres in Asia, the Middle East, and ofc Ukraine, that occupied their attention when they were more powerful.
They are in fact Also doing it because more of the people in charge than ever before are racial chauvinists who are Furious at the waning control of the US over south America and are incensed that Latin American states refuse to bow down to them, and that most recent hands-off coup attempts have failed. They’re also doing it because factions within the usamerican ruling class sincerely believe all the propaganda published about Maduro. They’re also doing it because they want a vaguely military “win” that they can parade in front of the media and, yes, they’re doing it so that they can create and sell media spectacle of the murder of Spanish-speaking foreigners by the usamerican military. These are All major reasons for Why the usamerican state is doing what it does.
l’ve played overwatch for less than an hour since it came out a decade ago but I still often think of Winston; the reddit mod gorilla, what a beautiful character, he has a living soul
“Weegee photographed movie theater audiences many times, in the 1940s and 50s and once or twice in the 60s. These photos were presumably made at the “House on Haunted Hill” premiere, either January 23 or February 17 in 1959. And were perhaps the penultimate movie audiences that he photographed.” ( x )
