sleepy prompts

☽ burying face in lover's chest when the sun hits their face

☽ sleepy mumbles that their lover asks them to repeat because they don't understand, until both break into giggles

☽ the scent of coffee steadily approaching as their lovers brings their mug to bed

☽ “ssh… go back to sleep.”

☽ seeing snow falling out the window and curling deeper into the blankets with a soft smile, looking forward to the snowball fight they will surely have

☽ groaning as their head hurts from a night out. make up is smeared on the pillow, lipstick on their partner, clubbing outfits still half on, and a bucket on their bedside in smart foresight

☽ staying in bed way longer than usual on their day off, with intertwined legs and arms

☽ waking to birds chirping and breakfast in bed. "this is some disney movie shit," they mumble as they eat freshly cut fruit

This is more for matter of knowledge and I cannot be direct n this question for safety but what is the perspective where you are on this morning’s events

I'll try to explain the context a bit before sharing my point of view about what is happening in Venezuela right now.

There are at least three types of Venezuelans:

The ones that view Maduro as a dictator and are celebrating that Trump sent bombs to our country to capture him, since they've been asking for an invasion for years now.

The ones that view Maduro as a dictator but don't agree with the air strikes in our country, since it broke several international and local laws, as well as began war on our territory.

The ones that defend Maduro and are against what happened, declaring that the president was kidnapped and the country attacked.

If you want to be properly informed, look for each point of view, read about it and decide what you believe is true. You will find real stories behind each group, stories that can't be denied. They all have their reasons that you should read about if you want to form a proper opinion on the matter.

Now...

I was in vacations, trying to enjoy it after one of my grandmas died. I woke up at 2:30am to two kids (8 and 12 years old) screaming at us that they were bombing the Capital and that we needed to pack our bags, only what you could carry in those because we needed to leave and go home asap.

We were supposed to return from the beach tomorrow. We went to sleep after watching the fireworks, playing cards and doing karaoke. We didn't know we would wake up to bombs, quick and panicked goodbyes and screams.

All we thought about was how many were dead, where would they bomb next, where should we go, how many supplies did we have.

I just came back from the streets. Like I said, some people are celebrating, some people are terrified and crying, some people are protesting, most people are silently waiting.

Are these our lives now? What will war do to us? What type of government will we have now? Are we just jumping from one dictatorship to another, just because the US wants to control us?

It is a fact that Venezuela is not a drug producing country, as the United States has chosen to say we are in order to justify their attacks. We do not export drugs. If Donald Trump had really wanted to fight a dictatorship to free its people, then he would have been true about it, he would have followed the law. He wouldn't have sent so many Venezuelans to El Salvador, he wouldn't have kidnapped so many immigrants, told Venezuelans to return to their country knowing he would send missiles some time after.

Venezuela has one of the biggest oil reserves in the world, which is the actual reason behind this US war against Venezuela.

The United States of America also has a history of influencing and intervening in Latin America to place governments that will give them whatever resources the US needs. If you need more proof of this, research Operation Condor. The US has been behind several terrible dictatorships in Latam.

It's what they've done in Iraq, Vietnam and more recently Palestine. They see something they want, so they justify their attack behind "freedom" and proceed to destroy the country.

Trump already said so himself. He's behind our oil industry. He's not doing this because he wanted to get rid of a dictator and loves democracy.

He's a greedy criminal, a fucking rapist.

Trump declared he was ready for a second round of air strikes. This is not how we Venezuelans will get democracy, since he will sure as hell influence the elections. Regardless of how you view Maduro and the Venezuelan context (which there're plenty of opinions, posts and papers about), an invasion in the form of air strikes is NOT the way.

The United States of America is not only breaking international laws like the United Nations laws, but he also didn't inform the US Congress before the attack. He just ordered his troops to invade the aerial space of Venezuela, attack our cities, our infrastructure and people.

We're waiting now. I'm not sure if there will be more attacks, if they are going to call for a "fair" election, if people will pillage tonight. The silence is maddening.

Only supermarkets are open. All those places have their gates partially closed.

So we wait for what the US Congress will say about this, what the UN will say about this, what other countries will do, what people will allow to happen to us.

That's my full perspective of this morning and the current events of today.
