U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.

      We are not living in a fantasy world where bad always fight good. It’s possible for two bad people,organization or country to fight each other. A country like the us who helped many coups and are supporting genocides can’t be good

        Honestly, it’s an oversimplified view on reality. The US is incredibly good and incredibly bad. Just like most countries.

        The argument over which country is better is like arguing philosophy. The argument has merit in lifting up both sides. But to say America is bad is sophmoric at best. It comes across like a petulant child.

      It actually is.

      I’m so sick of American imperialism and it’s unfettered capitalism.
