The world does not need another US-made catastrophe. Venezuela deserves sovereignty. Latin America deserves peace. And people in the United States deserve a future not stolen by endless war.

There’s no limit to the greed of the oil companies who legally (and sometimes illegally) bribe almost all of Congress, The White House, and probably two thirds or more of SCOTUS.
Unlike the government, which is both a major customer and a subsidiary of the biggest fossil fuel companies in the world, corporations can get their oil from anywhere in the world that’ll let them.
Until this coup, Venezuela was the biggest fossil fuel producer that wasn’t letting the (mostly US-based) mega-conglomerates operate with near-total impunity inside of their borders, opting instead for the fossil fuels and profits therefrom to be the property of the Venezuelan people.
I wouldn’t say „the Venezuelan people“. Much rather „some Venezuelan oligarchs“. The rest however remains true.
