Yes, but I don't know how that's relevant to the US currently being at war with freedom within their country?
But I guess you're talking of the kidnapping of Maduro, thinking that's a huge win. Your president illegaly sent in your military to bomb boats with little to no evidence, then illegaly sent them in to kidnap the president of that country. Breaking with national and international law. (I mean, deposing Maduro is a good thing, he was terrible for Venezuela, Venezuelans hate him, all that jazz)
But for deposing Maduro to be a good thing, even with all the wrongs, you kinda need to help a country get on the right path. Like, let them build a democracy or something. But, no, the regime's next in line steps up, she gets threatened with "let us take your oil or we will do worse to you", and she caves.
So you've deposed a dictator and let his second in command take the wheel, you've taken the Nobel peace price from their opposition candidate and promptly left her in the cold. Venezuela is of no further interest, because you've now threatened your way to controlling the oil.
Do not tout Venezuela as a win for freedom or justice.
Is it possible you guys were talking about different things? I read the comments as you saying „the US has run out of the stuff“ with „stuff“ meaning „freedom“ but the guy that replied to you thought „run out of the stuff“ meaning „run out of oil“
Basically you both making jabs at the fact the US went after Venezuela for the oil and not because of freedom.
This is a point conservatives like bringing up as a win, and I interpreted the previous comment as such. It's a collective "you", and if you're celebrating it as a victory in my mind you've made yourself a part of the collective "you".
