    There seems to be some confusion among the commenters here. Delcy Rodríguez is not María Machado. Machado is the one who got the Nobel Peace Prize and is not acting president of Venezuela. Delcy Rodríguez is the former Vice President who took over.

    Never, ever accept help from MAGA. That is your lesson.

    Krasnov and Delcy share a lot in common, especially the dictator bit. Go to hell, both of you.

    What is she complaining about? All the countries in the world have been taking and following orders from the US for the last 75 years and have been happy about it. They don’t like offensive comments from the current president. But orders? Just give us more!

      “This is totally unacceptable. Venezuela would never take threats and orders from the United States. We maintain our sovereignty against such an audacious adversary. Anyway in unrelated news, we are opening up the oil industry to privatization to help stir the economy. I can assure you this idea was 100% of our own making and has absolutely nothing to do with American demands.”

    Bye, Del-cy-sha.

    Ok, I don’t wish her harm or any ill will. I just know that, in this meat grinder of international diplomacy, theres a cost if she tries to push back on Lord Farquaad’s wishes. He’s already promised he would harm her — like every other woman he’s ever encountered.

    Beneath the politics, almost certainly, Delcy Rodriguez and María Corina Machado both want what will benefit Venezuelans. Or, perhaps, they only want to serve their own supporters. Regardless, neither of these women will gain from participating in the Game of Thrones that Washington has engaged.

    Also, Angela Means’s quest to vindicate Felisha has merit. Much is assumed about her. Few, if any, care for her. These are the stories we promote. This is the world we promote.
