A potential prelude to military action against Venezuela—even though the FTO designation as such confers no authority to use force. (And this supposed cartel may not even exist.) A regime change campaign in the guise of counterterrorism.

@StateDept
intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Headed by the illegitimate Nicolás Maduro, the group has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela and is responsible for terrorist violence conducted by and with other designated FTOs as well as for trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe.

Der konservative Anti-Mamdani-Diskurs ist einer der krassesten Fälle von Islamophobie, die ich erlebt habe. Ein Politiker wird nur aufgrund seiner Herkunft immer wieder als Islamist dargestellt, obwohl er ganz andere Ansichten vertritt.

A sharp sell-off of the peso has seen President Javier Milei seek a financial lifeline from the United States. Washington seems happy to help out.
