      The people of Iran are rallying around Khamenei for being martyred, and Maduro was democratically elected and supported by the majority. You have a very western viewpoint.

        Forgive my ignorance, but didn’t Maduro ban opposition party leaders from campaigning against him?

        I’m not saying or agreeing with the orange man, what he did was wrong. It’s not our place to intervene in other countries, but this is what I’ve heard everywhere.

          Haven’t seen anything like that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if western-backed orgs were targeted.
