The UN is a diplomatic structure that exists to give state’s representatives a place to gather and talk. It’s not a world government. If it had been created with the intention of being one, no one would have signed on.

This again?
Could they have? I have seen a lot of talk, but the actual plan that Rubio laid out is that they are going to embargo Venezuela until the government does what they want. The same thing they were doing before Maduro’s abduction. It’s been a couple weeks now since that abduction and it doesn’t seem like Trump is any more in control of Venezuela than he was prior to the abduction. Just a lot of grandiose claims.
Is Trump in a position to “give” Venezuela to Machado? As far as I can determine the same government that was running it before Maduro’s abduction is running it currently.
I had been looking for a reddit alternative for some time, but nothing I found was both active enough and not a receptacle for all the shitheads who were too reactionary for reddit. When the API fiasco happened, it seemed like there was an opportunity for federated link aggregators to be that. So far, it seems like that has been true. I was also attracted to the open source nature of the thing.
