NOW THERE IS A QUARTET OF REAL HEROES!
Yes!
Typo. “For amazingly courageous embassy protectors” should be “Four amazingly…”
Sorry, Walter, but I can’t edit tweets. It’s just a typo, everyone can see that there are four people in the photo.
I do not believe that Trump’s interest has anything whatsoever to do with oil or regime change. Almost every boneheaded thing he has done and lie he tells is to divert attention from his total lack of ability to be president and to give him talking points at the rallies he constantly puts on for the most ignorant of Americans. Whatever happened to America First and not wasting our money and the lives of our soldiers on useless foreign adventures that he campaigned on?
This isn’t about Trump, it’s about the US Empire. Regime changes are what the US govt does, regardless of who occupies the White House.

It’s incredible to think that any state can get away with this. International law now means nothing to the Empire. I wonder what the average Joe on the streets of the USA makes of all this?
The “Average Joe on the street” doesn’t even know that this is going on.
So much media, so little truth…
Haha, sadly, very true.
People need to stand up and some are beginning to. Like Assange my thoughts are with these brave cubs!
Indeed. These activists are true heroes, like Assange and Manning.
If I was Maduro I would declare that Donald Trump was not the legitimate President of the United States and takeover the US Embassy in Venezuela and offer to turn it over to Code Pink. Veterans For Peace and the Answer Coalition.
Haha, however, it’s not good policy to act like the bully-USA.
I agree, and at our estate, Carabao Haven on the beach in Manila, CaliforniaSSR, we have already declared Trump, and before him W to be quite honest, to not be the legitimate president of these once great United States of AmericaSSR and pray for the day he is removed from his throne in Putingrad DC. Just sayin’ ( that is AlaskaSSR speak, you know).
Exactly when was the US “once great”?
