A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

FAR more ironic - and tragic - than "Murphy Brown's daughter" (Chloe Malle) knifing @teenvogue.com in the back is that she's also the daughter of Louis Malle, director of Au Revoir Les Enfants, a great film about children being disappeared from classrooms by a fascist state. "Never forget", Chloe.
