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.

      All US pawns. They said the same thing about the Soviets who brought a workers’ paradise to Eastern Europe until the capitalists finally overthrew them.

        I suspect you are either too young to have even known someone that grew up in a Soviet state or you are just a fucking useful idiot.

        Nice take edgelord. Living standards were quite low in the Soviet Union for the overwhelming majority of the population, and they had very little political freedom to imprpve them. Reforms were met with a coup attempt, and it fell apart into various states where even today many are not aligned with “the big spooky west”.

          Do you understand what living conditions were like before the revolution? Socialism took an agrarian society and catapulted it into one that won the space race. Literaracy, food output, lifespan all increased during socialism, and they deteriorated again once the USSR devolved back into capitalism.

              Not in the same period of time for the same level of development. And when it did, they accomplished it mostly through colonies and 1800’s imperialism.

      I’m not saying I trust Maduro or anything, but the US making a statement makes me very suspicious about the truth of that, just based on history.

      The US weighing in removes credibility to the claim that the election was tampered with.

        Would it help if I said I knew someone from Venezuela who is adamant that Maduro cheated? My old coworker heavily dislikes Maduro

          I know someone in the US who is adamant Biden cheated, too. That’s not really evidence.

            I don’t disagree. I just think we shouldn’t dismiss the possibility just because the US says it’s the case. The US also said Putin was going to invade Ukraine and caught a lot of ridicule online for that, but it turned out to be a spot on prediction.
