- skippyboxedhero 10mo agoThere is no unintended consequence. Regime change was the explicit consequence of wars in the Middle East, it was the intended consequence. It went very badly. The intended consequence here is to demonstrate to an organized crime group that being part of the government does not mean they are safe. There is no other intention, it has worked.

Here we have an inversion of that, which to me is interesting.

- ExoticPearTree 10mo ago> Wonder where that trial would be considering US doesn't recognize ICC It has nothing to do with ICC. Maduro will be tried in New York and then in Florida. Those are the two places where prosecutors charged him, according to CNN.
