Does anyone else see the irony here?😷

Here's the actual ironic part:

"María Corina Machado has led the struggle for democracy in the face of ever-expanding authoritarianism in Venezuela. Ms Machado studied engineering and finance, and had a short career in business," the Nobel Committee said

Machado responded to the announcement with a statement posted on X in both Spanish and English, where she urged world leaders, including President Donald Trump, to fight for freedom.

"This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom," she said. "We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy."

I'm happy for her, but is she aware that the opposite of what's struggling for is happening in the USA? Anyone told her we bailed out the economy of Trump's authoritarian buddy in Argentina?

@Northwest I get it. But most Americans see this as a black and white issue. As if authoritarian rule is the only alternative to Democracy, But aurhoritarian rule can be of the Left or of the Right. Democracy is a totally seperate creature, rejecting both extremes..😷

@Northwest I noticed the bailout. Still. Twenty Billion dollars is small change for Trump now.. Want a bet there is not a commission or kickback heading into the Trump coffers from that one?😷
You meant against Venezuela, right?
