Under U.S.backed dictators, #Venezuela provided the collateral for its debt with its oil reserves #America wants to give #IMF loans to Venezuela and oversee the collateralization of Venezuela’s foreign debt with its oil reserves and then foreclose. #American #TrumpIsAnIdiot
They want to find an excuse to do to #Venezuela what it did to #Argentina , to grab Venezuela’s oil reserves as collateral by … preventing Venezuela from paying its foreign debt, [thus] forcing it to default on its foreign debt. #TrumpPandemic#COVID19#TrumpIsAnIdiot
Taken in combination with #elliottabrams recent statements, the massive U.S. military build-up and the collapse of U.S. #oil markets, such events seem to be pointing in the direction of an invasion being more likely than not. #Argentina#TrumpPressBriefing #TrumpIsAnIdiot

🧵How India Became A Detox Center For IDF Soldiers Who Commit War Crimes
Mintpress explores this phenomenon.
Where do Israeli soldiers go after committing war crimes in Palestine? Increasingly, the answer is India. Around 80,000 Israelis – including many active and reserve IDF soldiers – go to India to detox and relax after carrying out crimes in Gaza.
Certain towns, especially along the so-called “Hummus Trail”, are mobbed with Israelis, and are filled with cafés serving what they call “Israeli food.”
🧵Under the leadership of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela evolved into a critical Western Hemisphere hub for the Axis of Resistance against Zionism. This role was characterized by strategic military, economic, and intelligence cooperation aimed at countering U.S. influence.
Chávez and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad solidified a brotherly system based on a shared anti-imperialist outlook.
The alliance facilitated Iranian investments—often through IRGC-affiliated entities—totaling billions of dollars in Venezuelan energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.
🧵A study carried out by academics Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel estimates that between 1880 and 1920, British imperialism was responsible for the deaths of some 100 million people in India.
After taking over the vast country, the British systematically destroyed its manufacturing sector and reorientated its agricultural industry towards cash crops.
The result was the destruction of the economy and widespread famine.
🧵After a long silence, U2 frontman and self-appointed humanitarian, Bono, released a statement on Gaza.
Two years into a genocide, however, the Irish rock star reserved fire only for Hamas, describing them as “evil.” He went so far as to blame Hamas – not Israel – for starving the population of Gaza. “Hamas are using starvation as a weapon,” he wrote.
U2’s thoughts on the situation were roundly mocked and condemned on social media.
