It was not unexpected, but the terrifying sound of barbarity on the planet is more deafening when it takes place.
The US attack on Venezuela is not about drugs. These are arguments that even the US establishment does not take seriously.It is about the oil Venezuela exports to China and its significant mineral wealth that must be placed under US control.
This was evident from the National Security Strategy report published by the White House in December, where it was mentioned that in “our backyard” of Latin America, we are the bosses.
The arrest of the elected leader of Venezuela and his kidnapping by American special units is an act of barbarity. For over two decades, US sanctions have attempted to dismantle Venezuelan society and economy. Their impact has been very harsh, in a country whose people – in their latest elections- have not chosen a change of political course . Now the US is moving forward against any democratic process.
Solidarity with the Venezuelan people against US imperialism is imperative.
