The president of peace they said
'well I voted for Trump because I just don’t want there to be any violence’
The US needs to stay TF out of Vzla. What has Vzla ever done to the US?? It’s ridiculous.
We have an unfortunately long and sordid history of fucking with central and South America with effective impunity. Looks like we’re ramping up for some more.
sigh what a time to be alive 😐
I know that. The US better not invade Vzla.
They have oil and they’re not letting the USA have it. How very entitled of them. /s
You may or may not like Maduro, but either way the US cannot be trusted, especially with affairs pertaining to Latin America/the global south. And even beyond that, the Trump administration is a criminal regime, something which they like to accuse others of being. Venezuela is a sovereign state, and the US has no right to interfere.
Remember the banana republic started like this
The thing is if the US just left maduro alone his regime probably would’ve collapsed by now. Every time anything bad happens there he can blame it on the CIA and US plots and half the time he’s right so people still believe him.
If we got rid of the sanctions then the people couldn’t blame anyone else but maduro for the shit economy and they maybe would oust him. But America just can’t stand an independent left wing country “in there backyard”
The reason why Maduro is in power is the US. Plain and simple.
Hadn’t the US propped puppet right wing governments in Venezuela, there wouldn’t have been a need for a Chavez mesias.
The US doesn’t care about drugs. They care about Venezuelan oil and continue tal hegemony. That’s it.
So, it’s not only Trump. It’s every single government before him.
