Another win for the world's worst terrorist organization.

Arguably the most effective terrorist org of the last two centuries

2? At least 6. EDIT: I take this back, I misread/read too lazily. It was 2 centuries, not decades.

I've been reading Open Veins so I pause at claiming the US was out-terrorizing Spain in the Americas, and British Empire deserve credit for their atrocities as well though it's easy to argue USA is the continuation of that.

No, you're quite right. I take it back. I read far too hastily. You clearly said centuries and I read decades.

at some later date, when the united states is barely a regional power, the venezuelans will forget why there was any animus in the first place and i don't know how to feel about that.

What other option do they have? The US just steals ships and will bomb the shit out of them some more, then abduct the next president and the next until they get the policies they want
