That is a very biased article. All the individuals mentioned are already under sanctions by most of the world, and anyone outside of Venezuela would say the Maduro government is criminal.

lol. he's a reservist. so are a lot of other people. they are allowed to have a private life.
if every reservist is part of your conspiracy theory of "state-owned" then i guess most corporations are "state-owned". which would be a surprise to the tens of millions of shareholders, the SEC, the FCC and many others.

There is a difference between a reservist and a psy-ops reservists. But yes, in general, you'd think and hope that reservists of a nation are biased towards their nation at the very least. I'm sure this guy is heavily biased towards britain and against venezuela, etc.
Would you respond the same way if a chinese or a russian reservist was a senior member of twitter's team? I highly doubt you be defending him so vigorously.
> then i guess most corporations are "state-owned"
Not necessarily "state-owned" but without a doubt the important companies are at the very least "state-influenced".
