The perspective of Venezuelans:

A Mastodon thread by a Venezuelan, talking about the events.

Caolan Robertson is one of the best reporters of the Ukraine war, so here is his perspective on what this means for Russia, as well as talking to a Venezuelan:

ETA: Just to bring in something a bit different and I found this interesting. Here's to hoping that things don't get worse... Or maybe it's that saying: It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

People on the left and right have been supporting monsters for decades to oppose the other side.

Now you have progressives and nazis backing both Israel and Palestine with very few actually saying anything that offers hope.

Whether it be there, or Sudan or Bosnia; these wars have been festering wounds for most if not all my life and I see no end to it.

All I can do is help someone up *ironical laughter in my head given my inability to do that for myself* and try not to give in to the desire to just quit.

I feel more like that now than I did when I was suicidal.

The 'gives orange a bad name one' is already doing the preamble to invading Greenland that he was doing ten months ago about Venezuela.

Goddess preserve me, but I wish I didn't care!

The one good thing I hope to come out of this (way, way down the line) is for the idea of America as a beacon of hope and righteousness and democracy will die a death. They live on stolen land, built by slaves, and have been abusing power for decades, interfering all across the world for the sake of commerce. It's just that now they've gone full mask-off.

I hope somehow the powers that be see sense and try to work for what people need, rather than billionaires/corporations. :(

/not quite an answer to your comment, but I'm fed up with the world
