As Trump targets Venezuela, its allies Russia and China show little signs of support in c/world@lemmy.world

Would be funny if Russia turned Venezuela into the US Ukraine. Flood the country with weapons and aid and make them slowly bleed in a quagmire that their pride won't let them leave.

Doesn't look like Russia has the spare production capacity though because of the quagmire.

he played for 13 years, with the Louisville Colonels, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Chicago Orphans

They had some weird team names back in the day, at least this one isn't a slur though

Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Nah, it can be used for good. Obama pardoned a lot of non-violent drug offenders who were gonna be in jail into there 60s due to something they did in there 20s because of mandatory minimums.

Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that

I left reddit about 2 years ago before the oct 7th attacks, so I never really saw the reaction over there. I didn't expect it to be like lemmy, reddits always been a bit islamaphobic and quick to take up US state department propaganda, but I assumed by now though that since most on there are liberals under 50 that theyd be somewhere around "not a genocide, but Israel is committing atrocities and a ceasefire would be good." on the issue

But someone was calling out reddit in a thread about the flotilla being bombed and I looked into it and the thread on worldnews was full of denials and calling it a false flag. Looked more into worldnews and every thread on the issue is full of zionist saying things along the lines of "anything is justified to get rid of the evil terrorists hamas" or downplaying the atrocities.

Is this just a worldnews issue? Is it the mods over there? Is there some other sub with more pro-palestine news that split off? Has it been like this for the whole conflict?
