Awareness of vulnerability might be a key factor in opening space for the development of non-military solutions, “just as denial of this vulnerability through a fantasy of mastery can fuel the instruments of war."
You think we've faced the worst crimes? Think again. Necessary conditions for them to take place, however, do exist. We take a close look at how the United Nations thinks about these things.
A socialist president, a legislature controlled by his opponents and an ideologically heated battle about chavismo. (Stop us if any of this sounds familiar.)
Thanks to Chavismo’s bot armies, “Class Consciousness” was a trending topic on Twitter in Venezuela this week. How about we have a real conversation about it, minus the bots?
On World Malaria Day, we bring you the story of Arnoldo Gabaldón and the epic mid-century war he led against the disease. Has any Venezuelan done more for his country in the last hundred years?
Instead of solving at least one of the calamities the country is facing in all spheres, the government decides to help billionaire US president Donald Trump finance his inauguration.
Under new leadership, Venezuela’s telecoms regulator has dispensed with all the legal niceties. The time between you criticizing the government and your station being taken off of cable grids is now down to mere minutes in some cases.
