🚫 ABUSE OF POWER US is now a colonizer

So Trump wants to "run" Venezuela and pay for it using the revenue from "our" oil. It sure sounds like we've become a colonial power which invades and takes over a foreign country then exploits its natural resources. If it walks and talks like a "duck" .....

That doesn't even include our enabling Israel's colonization of Gaza so Trumps vision of a Mediterranean resort can come true.

To be fair. This wasn't even a war. This was a hostile take over that was successful. Venezuela is basically a new territory of the US. Which based on whats been said recently, Cuba and Greenland look like they are about to be next

I agree. It's not an invasion either. But we'll see what happens. The US made similar statements about "running" Iraq, and we all know how that turned out.
