Ironie des Schicksals? Oder schlichte Heuchelei? Die ‚Donroe-Doktrin‘ ist kein Witz, sondern ein gefährlicher Imperialismus-Relaunch. #FAZ #Venezuela

What do you think? Did Venezuela just “thwart” a false flag?
“Venezuela says it has thwarted what it calls a CIA-linked plot to attack a US warship anchored in Trinidad.
It claims the US would have blamed Venezuela for the attack on the USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, to justify aggression against it.”

This sums the #VENEZUELA situation up nicely:
For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader:
Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power, has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.
And the President of Venezuela did some bad things too.

Or if we'll just support it because we also want western oil companies to have access to those oil fields?
Or maybe we'll sanction the USA like we sanctioned Russia for their illegal invasion?
No? Why is everyone laughing?
Anyway. These days it's cool to invade other countries and kidnap their presidents to steal their oil it seems. Even though the oil needs to stay in the ground.

Colonial nations didn't stop colonialism because they became moral. They stopped because it was untenable. The advancement of asymmetric warfare made it impossible to maintain colonial holdings and those empires crumbled.
The answer was neoliberalism and soft power. Trump had annihilated the financial systems that held that fragile order in place.
#Venezuela will probably end up trying to teach Trump the lesson everyone else learned in the 20th century, but since he's incapable of learning it may very well teach him the lesson Afghanistan taught the USSR.
We'll see how it goes.
It's still possible that we could end up with the US interfering so much that the only people left able to defend space are anarchists. South and Central America actually has some really interesting and advanced anarchist tendencies, so fucking with that could absolutely blow up in Trump (and every other authoritarian's) face.
I hope that the Venezuelan people can take advantage of the situation to get rid of both a shitty dictator and the shitty colonizers who want to replace him.

It's kind of funny that Trump thinks he controls Venezuela with almost no Americans on the ground, even not an embassy and with the original regime (except Maduro) in place. It is a fantasy. Also oil companies don't really want to invest. Even if they do, it will take many years to make it work.
