Jeffries Blasts Trump's Venezuela Sanctions 7 Years After Supporting His Own
Jeffries, according to The Hill, decried Trump's actions as a naked grab for oil profits. A truly stunning revelation from a political class that has consistently championed regime change and sanctions in oil-rich nations for decades. One might call it a historical pattern, rather than 'unprecedented.' The Biden administration, for instance, has maintained most of these 'unprecedented' sanctions,
making one wonder if the issue is the policy itself or simply who enacted it. This convenient amnesia about American foreign policy in the Middle East and Latin America—repeatedly targeting nations with significant oil reserves—exposes the cynical partisan theater. When Democrats do it, it's 'spreading democracy' or 'humanitarian intervention.' When Republicans do it, suddenly it's 'unprecedented'
corporate greed. The only constant is that US oil companies rarely suffer.
