If we ranked the biggest imperialist cheerleaders on the Hill, Bob Menéndez would be near the top (halfwit Marco Rubio is the runaway leader). Case in point is this statement by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee w/ the ever eager acolytes (thread) foreign.senate.gov/press/chair/re…

First off, a salute to countries like the Baltics who took a break from whitewashing and glorifying their nazi-collaborating pasts to lend a hand to the murderous empire du jour. The statement is a litany of outrageous nonsense, or half-decent jokes depending on how you read it

"We express our support for Vzla’s National Unity Platform,as it represents the will of the Vzlan people" Really? This platform didn't exist until 2 weeks ago when the opp. realized it needed a name. Also, empires + puppets talking about "will of the Vzlan people", never gets old

Then the Maduro "regime" is "urged" to "restore" a lot of things. "Democracy this" and "freedom that." They could have just said "go back to being a US neo-colony with a loyal puppet in charge" and save us all the trouble of pretending it means anything else

Up next is the most astounding part, the gangster threats. The Venezuelan government must take "specific steps" in its negotiations with the US-backed people to secure a "recalibration of international sanctions." How's that for some good old imperialist flexing? #SanctionsKill

And they "will not tolerate" delays and whatnot! It's hard to take this seriously. No offense, but the citizens of Denmark should be ashamed that their government signed onto this kind of small-town mob boss understudy bulls*** #HandsOffVenezuela

To sum up, the Venezuelan gov't is not really negotiating w/ the opposition, because at the far end of the table there's a decadent, disgusting empire holding a gun. So much for supporting dialogue. Then analysts are surprised to find out the US is despised all over the world

Wannabe gangsters like Menendez can get away with this stuff because there's a corporate media establishment that's beyond uncritical when it comes to the Washington's foreign policy. VA's Lucas Koerner and Ricardo Vaz examined it in this piece

This "National Unity Platform" mentioned a zillion times in the statement by Bob and his troupe sounds like something respectable. But it's just the latest chapter in a history of pliancy and incompetence by the Vzlan opposition. This article has a recap
