Every dolt out there celebrating Machado's Nobel Prize should read these 4 screenshots in full.

And every doubter/sceptic of the 🇺🇸 Imperium should read them in order to have facts to use in debates against the dolts.

Machado asked ISRAEL for help in a VIOLENT coup in her country.

PEACEmaker?!

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire

A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

I Have Hope for This Ceasefire, But It Can’t Undo Two Years of Genocide

U.S. President Donald Trump said the ceasefire deal marked “a wonderful day for everybody.” Why did it take two years to arrive?

Amid the rubble, Palestinians insist on holding onto their land even as they face the harshest forms of injustice and humiliation. The words of this man are not merely an expression of anger, but a declaration of dignity and existence, and a refusal to migrate no matter how intense the suffering.

DAMN! This is a monstrosity! There is nothing but toxic obliteration everywhere. Israel has definitively disappeared these people even if they return. It has literally erased any recognition of the land leaving a lethal landscape. Israel is a war crime. Israel is hell on Earth.

No hospital, let alone a children’s hospital, should ever look like this!
It is disgraceful and unforgivable how the western governments supported and “normalised” this.
The world will never be the same again. Anyone who allowed or supported this can STFU about caring about humans or peace.

Following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip, Civil Defense teams discovered deadly remnants: explosion-laden children's toys and booby-trapped food cans, deliberately planted to lure children. These devices detonate upon contact, causing instant death or severe injuries.

a photograph displays several small, round black cans arranged on a tiled floor, resembling ordinary food containers but reportedly rigged with explosives. The image conveys danger and deception, highlighting the threat posed by hidden explosive devices left behind in civilian areas.

According to UNICEF, 320,000 children under the age of five in Gaza face severe malnutrition, while more than 56,000 children have lost one or both parents.

A young girl sits at a classroom table smiling warmly at the camera, holding up a blue UNICEF sheet. She wears a white blouse and a headband with pearls. Around her, other children sit at wooden desks, engaged in activities and talking to each other. The setting appears to be a temporary classroom with a white tent-like backdrop and UNICEF learning materials on the tables.
