Back then, apologist propagandists such as Joyce/Haw-Haw were an exception. Now they run the show. Every day. On every screen.
Yep, that's run as in run Venezuala, same difference.

This is probably the most irresponsible "reporting", in a highly contested category, the so-called BBC has ever indulged itself in. Speculating about which part of the world the fascist crypto-slop-arms-extraction regime will pluck off next.

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means.
It's clear what Trump is doing.
Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.

Greenland is not for sale, invasion or questioning and neither is NATO. This world needs more alliances, not more aggression, to keep it safe and democratic.

Are we sure these are the most pertinent questions? It's possible CAm/SAm countries could be targeted in similar ways, but superrogue states (and their crypto/AI/arms/extract-tech sponsors) ALREADY use many other ways to influence and subvert.

Sure, because why bother with actually doing the analogue administration if you can just do the "running" conceptually, economically, through coercion, perpetual threat and the control of information?

AP: Across the Venezuelan capital, there were no signs that the U.S. had taken over control of Venezuela’s government or military forces. The Miraflores Palace and military bases remained guarded by Venezuela’s armed forces
Live updates: Trump says US is ‘going to run’ Venezuela in interim. No immediate signs of US control
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been captured by the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration says he'll face charges on a New York indictment.

This is an incredibly weak response from the EU, and a dangerous position to take.
Maduro's legitimacy is not the issue at hand. The US is acting as a rogue state, and will embolden other states to use unchecked military power for their own ends.
We need international law, not gangsterism.
