    Meanwhile, the US is removing Russia’s allies: first Venezuela and soon Iran.

    Bierce would definitely have had something to say about that.

    Apparently the US has demanded of the interim president to stop trading with Russia, China and Cuba.

    I can’t see the US releasing Maduro, though Russia has insisted it do so. Will this bugger the talks with Putin over Ukraine too?

    True, all of what is happening in the world is the normal functioning of capitalism. What is different is that now it is more naked. The old lies of “freedom/democracy” vs “evil commies” etc. have largely been discarded, and all should now be able to see resources and profits as the real reason for conflicts. (Many still remaining such brainwashed passive consumers of govt media that they don’t). But even those who do see through capitalist propaganda still feel hopeless and powerless in their alienation from one another, paralysed, despondent and resigned. The fact that large numbers of young workers assume a nuclear holocaust will wipe them out at some time, and just resignedly carry on with “life” under ‘capitalism eternal’, tells us how powerless they feel, opting for distractions “in the meantime.”

    ” it looks like maduro was betrayed by the military top commanders and kidnapped for the USA forces.”

    If the Venezuelan top brass are behind it, then it will be a fait accompli and it will not become a national war. A guerilla war, internally, perhaps.

    “Occident: The part of the world lying west (or east) of the Orient. It is largely inhabited by Christians, a powerful subtribe of the Hypocrites, whose principal industries are murder and cheating, which they are pleased to call war and commerce. These, also, are the principal industries of the Orient.”. (Ambrose Bierce).

    Don’t forget the current daily assault on wildlife too, which is part of it all.

    Were the Democrats in power, wouldn’t they be doing the same thing? Or would they be wasting their time over Ukraine?
    Probably both.
