Bombs in Somalia

mercredi 20 février 2019 à 01:00

The US drops bombs in Somalia, intended to attack al-Shabaab, but does not try seriously to determine which of the casualties were al-Shabaab fighters and which were bystanders.

Since 7 years of this bombing have not crushed al-Shabaab, there is no reason to suppose 7 more years will achieve that. Guerrilla movements that can recruit more members easily are not defeated by attrition.

Federal food assistance

The bully has a scheme to kick more people off federal food assistance.

President of Venezuela

mercredi 20 février 2019 à 01:00

The US and other right-wing governments recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the president of Venezuela. Maduro responded by ordering US diplomatic personnel to leave.

More info.

I know very little about Guaidó, but in general the opposition in Venezuela represents the oligarchs and advocates right-wing dooH niboR policies. Maduro's government is a dictatorship, but the right-wing opposition would offshore the country's income and repress the poor.
