#Brazil under #Bolsonaro is now second only to the USA in #COVID19 infections, worst death rate in the world and shares #Trump's failings: denial, neglect and irresponsibility while blaming others. The left opposition calls for his impeachment. telesurenglish.net/news/Bolsonaro…

This is a real public health crisis and it would be a mistake to ignore the fact that public health is, in itself, a central battleground.
US troops in #Colombia, mobilising near the border with #Venezuela. #Washington has 9 military bases in Colombia, which allow the failing empire to threaten all other LatAm countries. Colombia also supplies 92% of the #cocaine used by the huge US drug market.
Yes of course they are US troops. In Washington's view they 'own' the place.
Masked men with guns, shooting in the streets of San Antonio de Táchira, at the border of #Venezuela and #Colombia . Most likely provocateurs, reminiscent of the snipers in Benghazi (Libya), Daraa (Syria) in 2011 and Nicaragua in 2018. #ColorRevolution once again.
Meanwhile, war criminal John Bolton announces the theft of billions from #Venezuela
