Germany certainly is, since at least 1939!

Lapdogs of the empire.
It’s amazing how Trump can just rip the mask off and scream “we’re gonna steal their oil!” and pigshit fucking liberals will hem and haw about Maduro’s legitimacy.
Not a fan of maduro, really really not a fan of this. If killing incompetent or illegitimate leaders is okay, he’s nowhere near the top of the list.
Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.
May the empire and its vassals fall.
So Russia, Venezuela’s ally, will surely help him, right? Right?!
WRONG. Russia is more full of bullshit than the USA or the EU. They’ll just issue some “harsh words” for this, “condemn” the attack and that will be the end of it.
Russia’s capacity to help is very limited, unlike the US Empire they don’t have hundreds of overseas millitary bases. The Monroe Doctrine means that unless Russia wanted to give Venezuela nukes, like they did for Cuba back when Russia was socialist, Latin Americans are mostly relying on their own power.
Not sure why you’re bringing up Russia, though, I never expected they would help and didn’t mention them because of that. Maybe some arms shipments, but that’s about it.

Maduro won 52% of the vote, Gonzalez got 43%. Simple as that.
“Maybe if we appease The Diaper, he’ll stop shitting on everyone?”
Appeasement is always tried against Hitlers. Never seems to work though.
It is shameful how our politicians provide cover for these monsters. It is an absolute disgrace and an expression of how cowardly and weak our governments are.
We urgently need to break away from this mafia state, but our so-called representatives bow down to the orange child molester and his god-damned Nazi crew. Disgusting!
Vassal states support the empire. 🤷
What legitimacy has the Saud family? Or any of the other dictatorships the EU and the US gives support?
Well, you see, the US supports them. That makes them legitimate regimes of legitimate states.
Cowards
the eu is illegitimate. i didn’t vote for them, effectively no one did. they decide without consultation. is it ok to kidnap their politicians now?
I’m not crazy about EU and there are certainly parts of it that are dodgy, but we do actually vote our EU representatives, the fact that you personally didn’t doesn’t mean it’s illegitimate.
You didn’t? I voted in 2024.
You voted for their leadership.
Funny thing about voting, your pick doesn’t necessarily win
I wouldn’t pick any of these fucks, and all of them just do creep towards fascism at varying speeds when they win. Death to schumer (I’m in America).
The whole concept of decision making elites, even if elected, is fucked and antidemocratic.
Does that mean Britain was right to vote for Brexit? I thought that was universally seen as a dumb move on par with voting for Trump.
for their own material conditions? pretty dumb move.
This, if the eu member states were advocating for the global well being of all peoples it would be pretty smart to all vote leave at the expense of their own material conditions. This would allow the peoples of the member states to actually vote for anti-imperialist policies (they probably wouldnt, but assuming we were actually collectively advocating for global well being) and to see that the capitalist class wouldnt enact such policies without a struggle.
EU has always supported invasion of the Americas, this is no different day.
Colonialism, in the end, stems from Europe and the root of evil must be killed there.
not all EU though, I remember the time when Chirac said fuck off to Bush (for Iraq) and then they had liberty fries instead of French Fries for a while, but appart from that I guess that it is sadly true…
Iraq is not in the Americas tho…
oh… I missed that part, so yeah…
The EU’s lacklusture response to the invasion of Vanezuela sets a bad precendent. What’s the EU position going to be when the US invades Canada or Mexico because of “fentanyl coming over the border” or decides Denmark is a narco-state and invades Greenland?
The reasons for the US invading Venezuela because “narcotics” was complete bullshit and anyone with a half brain should be calling it out.
The EU has always been vassalized in the US Empire. it isn’t particularly surprising. They realize that it’s awful, but they benefit from it so they support it.
It’s only continuing the precedent that supporting the Gaza genocide set
Death to EU, death to USA. All support to to the bolivarian movement against imperialism.
None of those things, thank you.
fascist
Yes to all of these things, imperialist.
Kaja “Russia and China didn’t play a big part in WW2” Kallas. Spokesperson of US puppet Europe.
He wasn’t legitimate
More legitimate than what the US is up to.
About the same
Nope.
Guess Zelensky isn’t a legitimate president either, now Russia gets to invade Ukraine!
Removed by mod
What do you mean? Zelensky’s term has long ended.
From what I understand, the Ukrainian constitution does not allow (national) elections under martial law. It also doesn’t allow amending the constitution under martial law either IIRC, so basically Zelenskyy is president until martial law ends.
The martial law which he himself declares.
Same schtick different justification.
Given that it’s allowed by their constitution, you can’t really say it’s illegitimate. You may not like it, but it’s perfectly in line with Ukraine’s laws.
Also, if there’s ever a time to declare martial law, it’s when your country is actively being invaded.
Okay cool so Putin and Xi are also legitimate because they were clearly allowed to changed their own laws.
No, legitimacy depends on how much you kowtow towards the US.
How is Zelensky not a legitimate head of state? He won his election without rigging.
He isn’t since April 2024 and is using martial law to keep himself in power despite not being able to sue for peace
That’s literally the claim they’d been making since 2014.
US is playing by the Russian playbook right now. And EU decided to play along.
Where did Putin say “We’re gonna take the oil! We’re gonna grab it and take it!”?
Where does Trump claim that Venezuela is part the US, that it’s like an independent Texas overrun with Chinese puppet president suppressing the areas of Texas left where people still want to be part of the US and that is worried on whether nukes will be placed in those areas?
Russia did invade and has tried to multiple times to assasinate him
Bolivia, Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua, Russia, China, DPRK, Syria, and many more recognized Maduro officially. Further, Mexico, Colombia, etc that expressed caution initially did end up attending Maduro’s innaguration and expressed their congratulations. There’s no evidence that Maduro did not win the election.
Further, Maduro was not a dictator. Venezuela has a strong left organization at the grassroots level, supported by the state. The fascists that the US Empire planted there like Machado are certainly going to try a coup, but the people’s millitias likely will not let that happen, and will instead rally around the government.
By legitimizing the empire’s lies, you’re supporting their narrative that Venezuela is some hellhole yearning for the US empire to liberate them, and not a budding socialist country in the empire’s backyard.

MOE is partnered with the National Endowment for Democracy, an anti-communist consent manufacturing machine of the US Empire, as well as with the EU. It’s headquartered in Colombia, which is well-known for US presence. This “evidence” is zilch.
He absolutely was legitimate, the US tried to manufacture consent to overthrow Maduro the same way Trump tried to claim the 2020 election was stolen. This is the same people, same playbook.
