— 🇮🇷 NOTE: No important or noteworthy riots have taken place today (yet). I will cover them if they do happen. There are some peaceful sit-ins, mainly in Shiraz currently.

Overall, the situation is quieter than it was yesterday at the same point in time.

I expect more stuff to happen probably tonight or when it gets dark.

— 🇻🇪/🇷🇺 NEW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone call with Venezuela's Vice President, who is currently the acting President

He told Vice President Delcy Rodriguez that Russia will do everything to prevent 'further escalation' and that Venezuela can move forward despite Maduro being captured by the Americans.

Nick Fuentes: 'The era of American interventions around the world must end. No more foreign conflicts!'

Also Nick Fuentes: 'USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸'

Americans have literally zero principles. They're unfixable.

First of all, you're Mexican

Second of all, I don't even mind foreign interference within a country's own geographical region.

What I do mind is hypocrisy. You can't be preaching non-interference 24/7, opposing regime change wars, and then when it actually happens you do a 180° and cheer for it.

Supporting a U.S. empire is one thing (if I was American, I would too, for obvious reasons)

Supporting the current American status-quo, which is literally a Zionist puppet government that does not care about its own citizens, is an entirely seperate matter.

This you?

'We're gonna stay, we're gonna run Venezuela until a proper transition takes place. We're ready to stage a second, much larger attack if we need to. But we hope not.

Beautiful big American oil companies are coming in to rebuild, benefitting from Venezuela's vast oil reserves, which will make many people in Venezuela and the U.S. very rich and very happy.'

Anti-riot police responded by firing rubber bullets at the crowd, trying to clear the street.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇻🇪 NOTE: Currently, the remnants of the Maduro government are still in charge of Venezuela, and the military is on the streets

The Vice President, Minister of Defense, and military high command have all vowed not to surrender to the United States.

It is very likely another round of strikes, or possibly even an invasion, is needed to put Venezuela firmly under U.S. control.
