The US secretary of state insists Venezuelans' votes in the recent presidential election "must count".

…

His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

…

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

      Absolutely, but if you were really interested in facts this information is not hard to find once you stop watching cable news……

      I doubt you’ll read any of it but here is a random google search….

      Details of a dozen or so coup attempts by us government

      https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv2tr51zb

      Details of Blinken’s work history in the us government over this same period

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Blinken#:~:text=He previously served as deputy,Biden from 2009 to 2013.&text=Yonkers%2C New York%2C U.S.

      Bias report on the jstor.org showing reporting credibility as factual and also detailing any of their bias etc

      If you believe western media and United States governments reporting on issues in Venezuela, you’re critical thinking ability is non existent.

      I’m not an expert on Venezuela, but again, western media and the USA government has zero credibility on issues concerning Venezuela.

        Your snark, arrogance and cynicism are unwarranted and inappropriate.

        But I do appreciate your providing some info - I was genuinely curious and didn’t quite know where to find this evidence - initial searches did not turn up the kind of “overwhelming evidence” you claimed existed. I’m not for a second disputing the USA’s involvement in coup attempts or regime change in general - I think this is quite adequately documented. But your claim was that there is “…overwhelming evidence Blinken has supported multiple coup attempts” but the best you can do is to essentially say he’s guilty of this personally because he has worked for the US government.

        That’s honestly pretty weak.

          lol. You’re saying that without irony.

          That’s not me being arrogant, I nailed it, I just did a slam dunk in your face after I alley-ooped my own pass.

          And when your audience has zero critical thinking skills it’s probably the most appropriate time for cynicism.

          Yes, I hate to break it to you but folks working for the leadership in the state department and national security of the us government are complicit in US backed coup attempts.

          But your attempt to straw man my evidence is a sorry attempt to deflect from the actual fact that the United States and western media completely fabricate most everything anytime they open their lips to speak on issues concerning Venezuela.

            Not only arrogant, but cringe.

            Sad to see “useful” idiots like you who probably don’t even know where Venezuela is, but as long as they are against the US they have to be good, right?

        If you believe every protest is a CIA backed coup attempt then nobody can help you.
