      Largest military in the world wants to send in a team of commandos to butcher your neighbors, bomb your home, loot your town, and rape your dog. What is anyone expected to do about it?

      Ask Gazans or the Houthis or the Afghanis or the Haitians what happens next. You either do a peace march that’s peppered with sniper fire. Or you put together a tin-pot resistance that maybe lands a few hard blows at the expense of everyone in your country over the age of 14 being used as target practice by the US Navy.

      We’re going to commit yet another holocaust in Venezuela. Likely one that rivals Iraq, Libya, or Syria, simply because the administration is being run by bloodthirsty sadists rather than clinically mechanical ghouls.

        What I hear you say is “surrender without even trying because it’s hard”.

        People are dying today, more will die tomorrow. Your rights are being stripped daily and your democracy is slipping away and you’re content to watch it because you’re too afraid to resist.

        Home of the fucking brave, everyone. No wonder the US is where it is.
