    BREAKING: Newly released video shows U.S. forces seizing a the oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

    Trump claims the US will keep the oil.

    Looks like this is all about the oil after all.

    The ode adage springs to mind. You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time.

    The reality is they fool most of the people most of the time.

    I’d love to be optimistic, but we all know how this magical cycle goes: Maduro leaves the country with his loved ones, his suitcases… and, of course, all the money he managed to grab on the way out. He ends up settling comfortably in Cuba, Russia, or China — the usual retirement spots for leaders who never have to worry about real-life problems. Meanwhile, the working people stay stuck in the middle, as always. Then they install a ‘pro-American’ government that promises transparency while continuing to steal — just more politely. And right on cue, another genius appears preaching Socialism of the 22nd Century, as if anyone asked for a sequel.

    The leftists think that by removing Trump, all problems are going to be resolved, but they never mention that the real problem is capitalism; any president will do the same job .

    The Houthis were doing the same thing in the Middle East, and during the government of Obama administration, drones were used to kill people and leaders . The USA has intervened more than 142 times in Latin America, and they are using the policy of isolation and expansion at the same time, and it is not new either

    Petroleum is not the only problem; the USA is exporting oil at present, besides petroleum, Venezuela own minerals at the Orinoco basin, and other economic powers like China and Russia are also extracting minerals from that region.

    The US ruling class does not want other competitors in Latin America, and China is becoming a threat in that region, challenging its own spheres of influence.

    The problem is that American workers believe everything that their leaders and the government tell them

    The war against drugs is only a pretext; that war has existed for many years, and El Sol Cartel does not exist, and Tren of Aragua does not exist any more, they are looking for another weapon of mass destruction like in Iraq

    Besides China buying commodities, they are also selling commodities, they are establishing commercial routes, making loans and selling weapons, as well as Russia is doing the same thing.

    The problem with Venezuela started before the election of Hugo Chavez, who was first overthrown by the US, and then he was placed back again. The coup failed.

    During the Obama administration, Zelaya was overthrown to avoid a commercial route from Venezuela to the Panama Canal; whatever Trump is doing now, it has been done before; he is following other administrations’ legacies. Obama used to be called George Bush number 2

    Those are just provocation and threats, but the USA know that a war with Venezuela might bring serious consequences, it might become another Vietnam or another Iraq.

    The Colombian president has received threats, and some Colombian presidents have been taken to court for drug trafficking and The US knew about their business, and that country also has petroleum, and it is well connected with China and Russia

    The US puppets have lived comfortably in Florida, and they have enjoyed their money. Carlos Andres Perez left Venezuela with millions of dollars, and he owned newspapers and banks

    With Russian missiles there now, I’m not sure the US will have its way this time.
