No War on Venezuela

Whatever your position on Maduro...if you don't want the US to wage war on Venezuela - because of how devastating it will be, because of the massive increase in suffering if will cause (across Latin America) - then say so now, and loudly!

No War on Venezuela
Journalists: You have a particular responsibility to *not beat the war drum*

Don't just accept as fact what the US government says
Do real reporting
Question everything
Don't spread propaganda
Don't forget how we got into the Iraq war
And do not repeat those mistakes
Those who engage in fantasies, that war will lead to a quick fix

Come back to reality

Your fantasies (often done from places of comfort outside the danger zone) will lead to many, many needless deaths

Don't be reckless and irresponsible

Don't play with other people's lives
And everyone do not forget

War is not inevitable

There are much, much, much better alternatives, in particular *political negotiations*

Do not recklessly dismiss this as naive thinking

Trying to save lives and prevent horror is not naive. It is absolutely necessary.
