So, a threat of war is a threat of mass murder.

And every threat that the US issues is implicitly a threat of war.

Venezuela’s government accused the U.S. on Friday of being behind what it called a coup attempt, as some regional governments recognized the opposition candidate as the winner of the country’s disputed presidential election.

Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said Washington’s recognition of opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez showed it was “at the forefront of a coup attempt.”

“Venezuela’s democracy is one of the most robust in the world, no effort to undermine it will be able to do so,” the government said in a statement shared by Gil.

On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recognized Gonzalez as the winner, citing “overwhelming evidence”.

Gonzalez on Friday thanked the U.S. in a social media post “for recognizing the will of the Venezuelan people.”

The president of Venezuela’s electoral council, Elvis Amoroso, said on Friday that nearly 97% of votes in last Sunday’s election have now been tallied and reaffirmed what he said was Maduro’s victory with just under 52%.

Amoroso did not provide detailed, ballot box-level voting tallies that governments around the world have called for to show Maduro’s victory.

Meanwhile, the electoral authority’s website has been down since Monday, and the government has blamed a cyber attack.

The opposition says its tally of a vast majority of the votes shows Gonzalez received more than double the support of the incumbent president, in line with independent polling conducted before the contest.

Yeah, well.

All kinds of people say all kinds of things.

All over the world, there are people saying things.

Okay?

Who cares?
