"He really left us with a very deep impression about the principles that, without ceasing to be an earthly man, he promoted in the international arena," the Russian diplomat said.

On Friday, Russian Federation's Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov evoked the historical figure of Commander Hugo Chavez, the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution whose death anniversary Venezuelans will remember next Sunday.

"We pay tribute to Hugo Chavez, who passed away 10 years ago, leaving a deep mark not only in the history of his country and Latin American, but also in the history of the world community," Lavrov said, pointing out that the late Venezuelan president was an unwavering defender of equality in international affairs.

“This is hilarious. And embarrassing. Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Lavrov says “the war we are trying to stop was launched against us” and the Indian audience - supposedly sympathetic - audibly laughs.”

You’re cheering for socialist Hugo Chavez on Free Republic?

You sure you didn’t mean to post all that nonsense on People’s Republic?

[lodi90]

I never realized we had a Hugo Chavez fan club on FR but here you go.

[Owen]

There are no isms. Not capitalism, not socialism, not communism.

Isms are measured in printed pieces of paper, created via whimsy by central banks like our Fed, to the tune of $31T. How can a substance created from nothingness be a measurement of any sort of morality? How can that be?

Wealth is food. Not really anything else.

[lodi90]

Then why do you live here? Chelyabinsk or Chavezist Venezuela seem to be more your cup of tea.

[DoughtyOne]

So will the people of Venezuela.

[Owen]

How is that relevant to QE?

[MeganC]

There are isms. And they are very real.

Communism
Fascism
Marxism
Leftism
Stalinism
Authoritarianism

Oh, and Denialism.

[Owen]

There is an ism.

Conservatism. It does not involve a substance created from nothingness.

It is defined as:

Drain the Swamp
Build the Wall
America First In All Things
Pro Second Amendment
Pro Life

Absolutely NOTHING about spending and taxes. There were volunteers to build the Wall.

Being obsessed with GOPe crap like tax cuts just means you’re part of The Swamp.

[MeganC]

And what, pray tell, does conservatism have to do with lionizing and idolizing communist dictator Hugo Chavez?

[Owen]

I did neither. I attacked our propaganda.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 6, 2023:

- Russian forces continue the encirclement of Bakhmut;

- Western media admits Russian operations around Bakhmut is exhausting Ukrainian forces and may diminish them ahead of an anticipated Ukrainian spring offensive;

- US announces another military assistance package for Ukraine with fewer items listed and absent of any specific quantities despite previous packages featuring such information;

-Ukraine has urgently asked the West for more artillery shells in particular, highlighting the inability for Western industry to match or exceed Russian military industrial output;

- German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall claims to be considering building a tank factory in Ukraine. Older articles claim only if approved by the German government and after the conflict is over, newer articles suggest the factory may be built sooner;

- Ukrainian pilots are in the US to assess their skills for potential training on US warplanes (likely the F-16);

- Training Ukrainian pilots on F-16s or other Western warplanes will admittedly take years, if F-16s arrive in Ukraine beforehand they will likely be Western operators posing as Ukrainian pilots;

[MeganC]

This was your post. It won’t go away. And you’re cheerleading for a communist dictator.

[Owen]

It’s all about starvation propaganda. What exactly was said originally that is factually incorrect? Stick to the facts. Even when they don’t agree with the attitude you have been told to form.

[MeganC]

You call it propaganda but the people who live in Venezuela and the literal millions who have fled that ‘worker’s paradise’ just call it starvation.

And note that I deliberately chose sources that were friendly to the Hugo Chavez regime when Chavez first came to power. Even the leftists are critical of Venezuela and the prevalaent rate of starvation in that country.

[Owen]

All deep state Swamp sources. Now, if you’re part of the Swamp maybe you have already signed on to such things.

Here is reality. We’re looking strictly for starvation here:

South African guy with a channel
See anyone emaciated? Skeletal? Laying on the street with bloated belly?

Remember when our filth media told us they were killing all the zoo animals for food?

See anyone skeletal or laying on the sidewalk with bloated belly?

This guy, with a not too impressive 190K subs, specializes in street food around the world. You think they are putting a show on for him? For 190k trivial subscribers? He only has 16K views on that vid and it’s had a year to accumulate such.

Get it through your head. We are lied to every day about the horrors of the demonized enemy.

Want a real eye opener? Go do your own surfing for youtube vids of grocery shopping in Moscow. After a year+ of sanctions. There is an australian guy who has been doing Russian grocery vids for about 2 yrs now, pre Ukraine.

These are not fake. They are real. It is our media that is fake.
