Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

    Went to protest at the US embassy in Brussels. Probably around 600-800 people there I guess. As far as I could tell we were the only party there. The rest was different orgs. Not even the Greens were there.

    Also, the US embassy is funny. All the other embassies are just building but the US one is a fortress with spiky fences, cameras and armed guards.

    The turnout was bigger than I expected really. Lots of communists around, which was nice.

        There was some discussion between participants at our protest too. They seemed to be Venezuelan but no actual fighting luckily.

      I’m a little jealous. I managed to find only one person today who was willing to talk a little about Venezuela. He knew nothing about Venezuela but was at least slightly sympathetic. He was only willing to whisper a little about politics because everyone is afraid of being arrested. Protesting is banned and exactly zero people would risk saying or doing anything remotely disruptive. lemmygrad would choke to death on cope to read the newspapers here.
