"The real aim is to overthrow Maduro and then, by cutting off the flow of VZ oil to Cuba, fulfill the Repub. right's dream of collapsing the Cuban gov't.
It’s unlikely to work this time either, though the cost of a military conflict will be higher for U.S. interests and much higher for Venezuelans."

Trump pardoned Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández - convicted of smuggling 400+ tons of cocaine into the US - to prop up political ally Tito Asfura in Sunday’s election. It’s a blatant quid pro quo: free the narco-state boss and lock in a pro-Trump regime in Honduras.

Men are socialized to hate women. They are told from a small age the worst thing they can do is “cry like a girl, or throw like a girl or act like a girl.” Then they grow up associating women & girls with shame. And that is how this misogyny breeds. It is patriarchal conditioning from the get-go.
