      One of the lessons of the last few decades seems to be that it’s not useful to keep western military prisoners alive, and that they should all just be immediately killed. Western militaries and intelligence agencies have demonstrated that they just kill everyone and only keep prisoners alive for purposes of interrogation.

    I’m genuinely crushed by how my fellow countrymen give absolutely no thought or value to the lives of people in the global south. When I’ve brought up this wanton murder in our conversations in the last day, I can tell from their “oh yeah, that’s super bad” that it’s just kind of sliding off of their brain, and that they only really care about the Maduro kidnapping.

      basically no one in the imperial core gives a flying fuck about anyone outside the imperial core. The past 20 years has just been a endless stream of people being blown up broadcast on the nightly news and they (denizens of the imperial core) only ever give a fuck when one of their poor wittle defenceless sturmtruppen gets a boo boo while flattening a town full of people.

      fucking one person had a conscious and leaks the american plan to abduct maduro to the press and what do these spineless bootsucking worms that call themselves journalists do? they play their role as good little lapdogs, sit on it until it’s already in motion, and after it’s done publish headlines like “Venezuela accuses america of military attacks”.

      shit, I remember when the collateral murder video came out and naively thinking “surely people won’t support the war once they see whats really happening! right?”. I still thought that people were just misled/misinformed/didn’t understand the situation, I didn’t realize that most people here actually just don’t give a shit about anyone outside the anglosphere/western europe. Just in the past 4-5 months we’ve seen 100+ people murdered by the american military bombing random boats and no one gives a shit.

      It’s even worse if you go to Elon Musk’s cesspool, X. You can see them say things like how we should “exchange 100 white liberal women for every 1 Venezuelan woman” as if these ghouls weren’t deporting people for blinking the wrong way a few months ago. It’s either apathy, or outright hatred. And I don’t understand their hatred, what have we done to them?

      They were military and security personnel (who had every right to be there, cooperating on defensive measures).

      «Nuestras condolencias al Pdte. Díaz Canel, al gobierno y al glorioso pueblo de Cuba. ¡Vuelen alto, combatientes! Su ejemplo queda sembrado en la tierra sagrada de Simón Bolívar como ejemplo de valentía y dignidad», expresó la presidenta encargada.

      «La República Bolivariana de Venezuela rinde homenaje a los 32 combatientes cubanos que ofrendaron su vida cumpliendo su deber, en el marco de misiones de cooperación y defensa, como consecuencia del ataque criminal e infame perpetrado por el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos contra territorio venezolano en la madrugada del 3 de enero de 2026», expresaba el comunicado oficial emitido por el gobierno venezolano.

      El comunicado especificaba que «este personal actuaba en el marco de la cooperación entre Estados soberanos y se encontraban cumpliendo tareas de protección y defensa institucional». Venezuela reconoció la actuación de los cubanos en el ejercicio de su profesión, en los que distingue «la valentía, la disciplina y el compromiso inquebrantable con la paz y la estabilidad regional».

      They were martyrs. The government of venezuela is specifically calling them combatants,
