It's crazy how the "women are builders in Minecraft" stereotype is still perpetuated... yet this top building content creators in this community are men....

Nicolas Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.

Well, that was the quickest regime change I’ve ever seen or remember reading about. I have to admit, I’m surprised and, frankly, impressed that they got Maduro so quickly. A couple of things that I think are important to remember here: This whole thing was sold on lies (like all wars). This was never about drugs and all you have to do is look at the percentage of drugs that come from Venezuela to know that. Trump overthrew a sovereign government without authorization from congress for reasons that he won’t tell the American people, none of whom wanted this war. The most important question is always ‘what comes next?’ and it’s a question DC is famous for ignoring. In the case of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen it was disaster, despite all of the war hawks immediately celebrating the “success.” I hope what comes next is better for the people of Venezuela and the region but I’m not optimistic. These events have a tendency to destabilize. And, unlike the Middle East and North Africa, this is in our backyard and we will pay a steeper price if the results are another destroyed country.
