TRUMP BOMBS VENEZUELA

, US

KIDNAPS MADURO
After promising ‘no more wars’ during the campaign, Donald Trump has started the neocon regime change operation against Venezuela and has once again submitted to the demands of the neocon permanent state.
We warned with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Latin America and the Caribbean would be turned into a war zone, and now that frightening horror is a reality.
This is not a war on narco-trafficking, that is a claim even more ludicrous than the Bush Administration’s WMD justification for the Iraq War. Venezuela plays no role in fentanyl production or trafficking. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Venezuela is not a cocaine-producing country.
An annual report from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published in March did not mention Venezuela in the four pages dedicated to cocaine trafficking, citing instead Ecuador, Central America and Mexico.
This is not a regime change war to bring about ‘democracy’ either. The United States has supported a long list of fascist dictators in Latin America including:
Augusto Pinochet

Jorge Rafael Videla

Humberto Castillo Branco

Juan Maria Bordaberry

Hugo Banzer

Manuel Odria

The Somoza Dynasty

Carlos Castillo Armas

José Napoleón Duarte

Roberto Suazo Córdova

Rafael Trujillo

Fulgencio Batista

Manuel Noriega
Democracy is of no importance to the United States. What matters is the domination of Latin America to extract its natural resources for the profit of US corporations. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on Earth, and the rapacious vultures of American capitalism have been salivating at the prospect of stealing the nation's natural resource wealth.
Veteran CIA Asset Maria Corina Machado, who has plotted against her country since her involvement in the 2002 CIA-backed coup against Hugo Chavez, has been groomed to be the Pinochet of Venezuela, openly declaring that if she becomes the illegitimate President, 'we are going to privatise all of our industries', in a shameless begging effort for the US to go to war against her own people.
Every single regime change war has been an unmitigated disaster, Donald Trump has betrayed his MAGA base once again for an imperialist regime change operation cheered on by widely despised neocons such as Rubio and Ratcliffe.
For Russia

, China

, and the rest of Latin America, this is Code Red. If they allow Venezuela to fall and for its resources to be stolen, they are next. The US clearly has no care for international law or norms when they have executed the plan for the daylight robbery of Venezuela.
Unless the US is punished for this brazen foreign policy of war and destruction against any country that refuses to submit, the BRICS countries will be next.
This is also a punishment to remove one of the voices of anti-imperialism. Maduro is hated by the US for consistently condemning the horrors of US imperialism. The decade-long campaign to destroy the Bolivarian Revolution is now culminating. The sanctions crippled Venezuela's economy and condemned millions of Venezuelans to poverty, and now Washington is moving in for the kill.
Any government that sought economic justice and sovereignty in Latin America was destroyed either overtly or covertly. Venezuela is now part of that long list of examples.
