Trump Aims to 'Run' Venezuela, Just Like He 'Ran' Four Bankruptcies
Mainstream media dutifully report Trump's bold pronouncements on Venezuela, as if his geopolitical musings are anything new. This isn't groundbreaking policy; it's the standard American playbook with extra bluster. Remember when the U.S. recognized Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate leader in 2019, seizing state assets and imposing sanctions designed to 'restore democracy' but conveniently
crippling their oil industry? The US has a long, storied history of installing 'law and order' in oil-rich nations. From the 1953 coup in Iran to countless interventions in Latin America, 'law and order' for resource extraction has consistently meant chaos and poverty for the locals, and profit for specific corporations. Trump's candidness ironically exposes the usually veiled intent of these
actions. How many times must this episode of economic colonialism air before we change the channel?
