That "reporter" that said Russia is going to attack US electrical grid: Ö.
Memes aside, if you want to keep same volume of speaker as of translator then at least insert captions because I can't hear shit.
Imperialism wahhabism Nazism Zionism are the biggest plague on Earth! The book The Art of War know yourselves know your enemies and know your allies if you didn't know that then you are a true mind slave even the Bible says you could be destroyed for a lack of knowledge!!!!!!
The world's biggest canker is the US!
Hey Mick D. #let'sbereal, There are millions of Great American Citizens who Do believe and Love Jesus. If u would educate urself and see that our government is the devil worshipers. They have taken God out of everything. So please when u bash America, please just bash the idiots who deserve it and that's our government. In God's name is pray for us all.
If the back up generators fail….
The US did this to Iraq and Yugoslavia with graphite bombs. You want regime change or win a war, kill the power plant first.
Presence of diplomats only constrains US policy against Venezuela if they are plotting an invasion or other major attack.
It's interesting that they claim it's due to governmental incompetence. Yet America has the exact same vulnerability.
Shocked with this report
CIA regime change operations up to their old tricks again.
One can only imagine what Latin America would have been like without the systemic interference of American imperialism…
THE CORRUPT U.S. CIA & GUIADO
"are Behind all this".
Meanwhile Vile Fukushima Melted Nuclear power plant, already spread tons of radiation in North and South american continent. Means a lot of you, going to die and get cancer very soon. But no one cares.
EMP strike. This is not good; obvious sign of a WAR to escalate. Revelation 18:8. America will pay for the destruction of all life. God will put an end to the; Wicked forever. Revelation 21:1.
Attack the Americans interests this is the solutions

Fox News and CNN, are just as dirty as Rubio and John Bolton.
Hopefully they will remove Internet Access to their Electrical Power Systems Controls.
Thats what we do in the USA otherwise our grid would always be down due to attack.
Incompetence!
A teenage hacker in a basement could hit it.
Stupid!
Its like storing gasoline in your oven and being surprised when it explodes as you heat the oven.
Hopefully someone will block Internet access to Mission Critical Infrastructure or this will keep on happening.
Is there any competent people left in the Country?
How long this world must suffers by evil USA&Israel politicians?
It's going to be very tough for the US to deal with Maduro because China and Russia looool I'm watching
It's actually kind of amazing that Pompeo tried to shift the blame for the power outages onto Maduro after it was just revealed that the police deliberately setting the "aid" on fire on orders from Caracas was revealed to be a huge lie
Considering what just happened with the CIA at the NK embassy the CIA using a cyber attack on Venezuela is pretty plausible. The right wing US government is just that bad an actor on the world stage
Cyber attack on the grid, yes u know who did it
Venezuela, low hanging fruit?
So convenient the power and everything when down as USA is threatening invading.
Is it coincidence?
==============AAA+++===============
Haha nyt was much later than rt.
United States of America must be invaded by the whole world
And to think just two days ago I heard news of U.S. accusing Russia of messing with the U.S. power grid causing blackouts sporadically in U.S. cities. Mmhmm
( eye roll )
Absolute devil's!
Someone watched Edward Snowden movie
Maduros explanation does not make sense. if he loves his country. he should have resign for a while, instead of letting these people starve.
One of many many war crimes committed by the so called Jesus loving USA.
It's a seige.
Maduro said different substations were burned.
Hands off Venezuela
This comments section is full of garbage, but this is the first sane video I've seen on this channel. Not saying it is unbiased (nothing can be really be), but it is sane.
One of the few leftist outlets that points to the Forbes article and did mention the article concludes it is more probable the blackout was just the imminent failure of a system broken by the mismanagement and corruption of the chavista government.
Right now, I wouldn't negate there's a chance for the blackout to be intentional. But 2 main points against the chavista hypothesis:
1) At this point they should have released already details of where the system failed, what machine, what control, what safety measure didn't fire, where exactly, the chain of failures, etc. That info is available right after the incident. They have released nothing, they simply jailed a journalist because the last week he said the word "blackout" on a podcast answering to someone on Twitter asking if the Maduro government would dare to shutdown the internet entirely (yeah, the jurnalist got jailed because a word he said in a totally unrelated context).
2) The second "attack method" about electromagnetic pulse guns targeting power lines is straight nonsense. I know a bit about electrical and electronic engineering because I studied it in highschool, and such thing doesn't make any sense.
Which makes me believe shit simply failed and they are just fabricating stories to offload the responsibility and fuel the communist propaganda.
And I'm a Venezuelan, if you read past here, please start your comment with "happy turtle" if you want me to care about what you have to say.
Oil and the Kock brothers people, the Petro dollar is killing us all and they will kill anyone who gets in their way.
Trump drained the swamp and put it in government
Amercians should be ashamed of what there polictions represent, most of the world regarding it as a terrorist state
sabotage
“For evil to succeed, all it needs is for good men to do nothing" . Another case of left-wing blindness in regards to Venezuela. This narrative is actually hurting left-wing worldwide if lefties position themselves to defend what’s indefensible. Thank god that some people are more nuanced and offer a bit more of a perspective that maps to real life here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ID-FPKqQyE&t=9s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1gUR8wM5vA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX7eBUkBTuE
just to elaborate a little on this (but each of these items may be entire topics of themselves):
1. In order to consider this a coup on a DEMOCRATICALLY elected president, we first need to consider Venezuela a democracy, which it clearly is NOT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index ), and hasn’t been for more than a decade now , since the destruction of all institutional independence ( https://www.hrw.org/report/2004/06/16/rigging-rule-law/judicial-independence-under-siege-venezuela ) and partisan indoctrination of people (like children in public schools, for instance: https://www.las2orillas.co/la-revolucion-chavista-empieza-en-la-escuela/ ).
2. In order to consider it a coup altogether, we must first assume there’s a legitimate president, which is NOT the case. There’s an authoritarian with at least 70-80% of disapproval ratings, that just “happened†to get 60-70% of the votes. Who right before lost the parlament and substituted it with his own puppets ( https://youtu.be/S1gUR8wM5vA?t=94 ) and also stacked the Supreme Court with his own guys as well. He also arbitrarily invoked a Constitutional assembly without consulting people (which should be the case constitutionally) beforehand, and changed the rules of who can be presented and how they’re chosen. this is just the tip of the iceberg.
3. Juan Guaido ARBITRARILY declared himself president illegally. Considering 1. And 2., it should be clear that if a government is deemed illegitimate, and there are legal mechanisms in place to deal with such situations, then those mechanisms should apply. Juan Guaidó is employing the Constitution articles 233, 333 and 350 that in the circumstance of an absence of a legitimate president by January of the new governing cycle allow the President of the Parliament (AN) to assume charge to call for elections within the 30 days of assuming charge. This is a key point. The guy is not just assuming power arbitrarily in the hopes of remaining in power, but to call for free and fair (or at least less unfair) elections, NOT to just stay there
4. Other governments or nations should NEVER interfere with “internal matters†of another sovereign country. This should only ever be the case, if the sovereign nation is not attempting against basic principles, such as Human Rights, or is not acting a criminal way. Venezuela nowadays is a NARCO-STATE ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce12VKaPd9g ). Involved in moving about 25% of the drug movement with top politicians, army officials and close-circle friends, this government is composed of corrupt criminals, and should therefore never be treated as a “normal†sovereign nation because of this (example: first lady’s nephews sentenced for trying to smuggle 800Kg of cocaine using diplomatic passports: https://cnnespanol2.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/flores-conviction-pr.pdf ).
5. The US’s sanctions created all/most of the economic problems: complete BS. the economic problems first started even before the price of oil dropped in 2014 (they were already super sharp throughout 2013 https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/sep/26/venezuela-food-shortages-rich-country-cia ) and WAAAAY BEFORE any sanctions were set. also the sanctions set by the US government were initially targeted to specific sets of people (anyone linked with drug, corruption or human right violations), and most recently they have blocked financial assets of the government in response to the illegitimacy they earned themselves in the sham “elections†from Maduro. removing assets from those who don’t have the legitimacy from using them is not unreasonable, particularly more so if they’re criminals part of a narco-state authoritarian regime. Also the sanctions have made exceptions for things like medicines and food imports, which makes them even more reasonable.
6. it’s all about the oil. We’re not stupid, it’s clear the US (especially a government so self-centered as the one lead by Trump) clearly has alternative motives. BUT this does not mean it’s not the right thing to do, putting any motivations aside. Criminal governments need to feel the pressure that only a united international community is able to achieve, and Venezuelans have no means or power to exert over them. Hitting them personally, and disabling their financial means of corruption and crime is the only way to really hurt them and set a statement of: being a criminal, has consequences. Being this said, I believe it’s s combination of motivations behind the US: Oil & business access, reducing geopolitical influence of China and Russia (which basically OWN current government and are paid in resources).
Like a said, I’m barely skimming the top of the iceberg, and each point is an entire topic that can be analysed for hours, but it all leads to one Giant conclusion. Venezuela is messed up by a dictatorial regime where people “happen to voteâ€, where the government and military is composed of a mafia-like criminal organisation, and even though this criminal organisation happens to have a seat at the UN, does not mean they’re not still a criminal organisation, and it should be treated as such, not as a normal, sound, legitimate, democratic, sovereign nation.
