The Simple Truth

In response to this tweet of Bernie Sanders@SenSanders...

The Maduro government has waged a violent crackdown on Venezuelan civil society, violated the constitution by dissolving the National Assembly and was re-elected last year in an election many observers said was fraudulent. The economy is a disaster and millions are migrating. 1/3 (24/1/19)

Asad Abukhalil@asadabukhalil tweeted...

Those who disappoint you on Palestine will disappoint you on Venezuela, and vice versa.

How true.

How true, Asad Abukhalil, New Zealand has just announced that it is not its practice to pick governments.

Remember the UNSC resolution co-sponsored by NZ?

Worth watching from about 8:38 for Bashar al Jaafari's response to the Damascus Airport bombings and right at the end where he mentions the threat of the UN's fate of becoming like the League of Nations due to this Warsaw meeting convened by the US.
