Trump Warns Against Venezuelan Skies, US Oil Interests Unmentioned
Deutsche Welle dutifully reports Trump's admonition to avoid Venezuelan airspace, citing safety concerns. This echoes similar US advisories against countries like Cuba and Iran, usually preceding or accompanying economic sanctions and regime-change rhetoric. It’s almost as if 'safety' is a flexible term, especially when it concerns nations that refuse to play ball with Washington's geopolitical
agenda. Remember in 2019, when Trump's administration recognized Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's 'interim president' – a man never elected by the Venezuelan people—while simultaneously imposing crippling sanctions? The objective wasn’t aviation security then, and it's certainly not now. It's about control over the world’s largest proven oil reserves. The 'danger' often cited is a convenient smokescreen
for resource grabs, a classic move from the US foreign policy playbook.
