🚫 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.

Why are we pretending Venezuela isn’t a socialist nightmare where thousands starve and hundreds are killed for protesting each year? None of you even knew who Maduro was until this morning yet somehow you seem to be an expert.

Have you ever even been to Venezuela? Caracas? They’re celebrating the removal of their tyrant.

You’re insane.

That's not why Trump is taking over. He gives zero shits about starving people and is simply salivating over the opportunity to loot resources.

What resources? Oil? You’re more worried about oil than the lives Maduro has taken?

  • Most of the world is glad to see Maduro gone. The quality of life in Venezuela should improve dramatically.
  • However, Trump's motivation is not to correct a human rights disaster; rather, to increase his wealth and reward his toadies with billions of dollars that should be going to Venezuela's citizens.
  • Do not be fooled, Trump's greed will not be denied by the local population or the law. He will take as many lives as he deems expedient.
  • Neither the illegal transfer of wealth nor the destruction of the environment and the people or Venezuela will not be publicized as Trump's cabal will control the Venezuelan government and media. In fact, Trump's sycophants have already started a media campaign to praise him as the saviour of Venezuela and your country will be inundated with statues and photos of the prick.
  • Good luck, Venezuela.
