One thing we really don't get is how bigwigs and pundits think (or pretend) the US being despised all over the world is some kind of misunderstanding. Or a product of "misinformation campaigns." Case in point is Washington's stance regarding Venezuela's ongoing dialogue (thread)
Ladies and gentlemen, here's fake ambassador to Vzla James "Jimmy" Story (he has an office in Colombia) saying the US and its puppets are considering *new sanctions* if they don't like how the negotiation process is going. Yes, this is not a joke #SanctionsKill
Story funnily talks about the "interim president" when not even the opposition delegation uses this ridiculous term anymore. Also, the EU and Canada have nothing to be proud about in their history, but even for their standards it's a bit too low to be lapdogs to these shenanigans
Story's suit-and-tie gangster antics came on the heels of imperialist zealot Bob Menéndez rounding up some pliant idiots to issue a statement with equal doses of nonsense and delusion. We talked about it in this thread a few days ago
No one expects the imperial tiger to shed its regime-change stripes. But the Biden administration had half-heartedly endorsed the talks if nothing else because they realize @jguaido is a gigantic embarrassment. Yet DC bureaucrats couldn't go one month without meddling and threats
And for an encore in imperialist flexing here's Juan González. Never mind that the US+opposition's "fraud" claims have been thin in terms of evidence, to put it very gently. But how can anyone think of the US as some kind of reference for electoral processes with a straight face?
There's quite the urge to direct a few choice words to these shameless hacks threatening to kill tens of thousands more civilians if what happens in a foreign country is not to their liking. But Hugo Chávez wrote the book on how to answer this kind of stuff 👇
To learn about the murderous sanctions the US has imposed (and is threatening) in its efforts to overthrow the Bolivarian Process, take a look at the following infographics:

And to recap, the Vzlan govt and the US-backed opposition have had 2 rounds of talks in Mexico w/ mediation from Norway+others. Maduro and co. want sanctions lifted and assets returned, Guaidó and co. are banking on their bosses' (sanctions) firepower to try and stay relevant
