U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.
Maybe if your country didn’t get involved into fucking up the democracy of that region for corporate interests, I would have some sympathy.

I think they’re referring to the countless South American counties that America has meddled with in the past.
Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, etc.
Basically, you reap what you sow.
Yep. That’s it.

Cut us off from their oil, then America cut trade ties, then they allied with our adversaries because America turned their back on them simply because they were mad they nationalized their oil.
Yea, that’s the point: the US views oil access and strategic alliances as interrelated. If anything I think this is just an open admission that the US DGAF about ‘democracy’ but is really only interested in the willingness of oil states to deal in their oil supply.
Lol America is so fucking entitled

Lmao, because they decided to cut ties with their ‘investor’? At the risk of repeating myself:

LoL sorry buddy, but you clearly don’t know your history. Come back after you read about American influence in South American politics since WW2.
Here’s a place to start:

No. Trying to get rid of American influence and being independent without any US involvement is not trying to take a spot at being a super power. Get real.
LMAO, yes, NO REASON AT ALL

The US liked having cheap access to their oil, and the Venezuelan people decided they didn’t want private interests taking advantage. That’s well within their right, and more countries should pursue nationalizing their industry against American hegemony.
Fuck American private interests, and fuck their corrupt political dogs. America has whatever is coming to them, too. America meddled in so many economies their moral judgement became not even worth wiping your ass with. They were always greedy like that.
