Trump has just announced he is going to RUN another country (with or without boots on the ground) to ensure oil flows for US companies.
Yes, there’s still people - including in Latin America - pretending this is about Maduro winning elections or not.
How is a Trump occupation any more legitimate?

Nem isso, porque a maioria dos filmes de bonecos tem, como plano de fundo, "general dos EUA é malvado".
A ideologia cinematográfica está bem mais escondida. São conceitos como "com grandes poderes, vem grandes responsabilidades" que os EUA usam, por exemplo, para justificar ser a "polícia do mundo"

Tem uma galera que incrivelmente só entenderia a dimensão da barbárie imperialista se isso fosse desenhado explicitamente em algum filme boneco hollywoodiano com o hominho bom e o hominho mal se batendo

31 de Julho de 2002, Thomas Friedman defende a guerra do Iraque dizendo que uma guerra de sucesso permitiria a modernização da indústria do petróleo, com ajuda dos EUA, e diminuiria o preço do petróleo.
Fun fact: nada disso aconteceu.

I think it’s unfair to claim that Trump is only attacking Venezuela because he wants to sell their oil to his rich friends. It’s also possible Trump is attacking Venezuela because he wants to sell their children to his rich friends.

Trump is president to begin with because a critical share of Americans don't really care about norms and legalities. As a matter of politics, probably best to say that this was the act of a stupid and dishonest man, who doesn't really care about drugs, that could pull us into a deeper conflict.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

Se os EUA deixarem a vice assumir, como essa postagem diz, vale ler a biografia da vice-presidenta da Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez.
Ela é militante histórica do chavismo. Foi ministra da comunicação, do petróleo e das RIs da Venezuela, era mulher de confiança de Chavez e presidenta do partido.+

Se alguém estava se perguntando qual a reação dos democratas, uma das mulheres mais próximas a Hillary, a ponto de dar um golpe nas primárias contra o Bernie Sanders, acaba de meter um "prender Maduro é bom, mas não basta, precisamos atacar mais a Venezuela".

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Democrats don't oppose Trump on the border. They don't oppose him on Israel. They've already expressed support for regime change in Venezuela. They will back him on this. We don't have an opposition party and it infuriates me to no end.
