Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado said military escalation is the “only” way to remove authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro from power.
“The increase in pressure and the escalation that’s taken place is the only way to force Maduro to understand that it’s time to go,” and “facilitate a peaceful and orderly transition,” Machado told Bloomberg.
The comments come as the Trump administration has reportedly made the decision to strike military facilities inside Venezuela, with attacks potentially taking place at any time.
They always seem to give their prize to someone who advocates for the empire. Even those who call for crushing sanctions against the citizens of their own country.
There have been some truly despicable recipients, but I don’t think any of them publicly craved it with the crass vulgarity that Trump did.
I can’t help but think that at least part of that was to test Norway’s loyalty to the empire.
