It’s simple: the US has waged a decades-long economic war on the Venezuelan people since Hugo Chávez nationalised the oil, because Venezuela insists its natural resources belong to its people, not Chevron. Me on BBC:

‼️Sergey Lavrov, re: Venezuela: "Instead of Intervening in Nigeria or Venezuela—'While Also Seizing Oil Fields'—US Should Act Where Its Troops Stationed: Washington "would probably find it more convenient to combat" the drug issue in Belgium, especially since American troops are already there. The approach toward Venezuela chosen by the US will lead to nothing good and will not enhance Washington’s reputation in the eyes of the international community. "I cannot finish my comment on Venezuela without mentioning our position on the unacceptability of the actions that the United States is taking under the pretext of combating drug trafficking."

US President Donald #Trump’s claim that Venezuela must return "our oil" and "our land" may sound bold, but it collapses under even the most basic historical and legal research. #Venezuela’s oil was never #US property; it belonged to the Venezuelan state, extracted by foreign companies under contracts that enriched multinationals while leaving the country poor and unequal. When Venezuela reclaimed control of its economy to fund healthcare, education, and poverty reduction, US financial and oil sanctions crippled its economy. The myth of "stolen oil" obscures a simpler truth: Venezuela refused to remain dependent.

The daughter of CIA asset Maria Corina Machado is now publicly mourning and romanticising Venezuela🇻🇪 before Hugo Chavez. The Venezuela she cries for is the Venezuela where only a small minority enjoyed wealth and opulence. Poverty before Hugo Chavez came to power was at 70.8% in 1996, reduced to 21% by 2010 Extreme poverty was at 40% in 1996, and was reduced to 7.3% in 2010 by Chavez. Then came the US’ economic warfare against Venezuela. Maria Corina Machado and her family want to defeat the Bolivarian Revolution, which is under siege, so a small parasitic elite can enjoy wealth and opulence again as the natural resources of her country are plundered by the USA.

In a 2009 interview, then president Hugo Chávez rejected claims that he was “paranoid” about the United States, arguing that US hostility toward Venezuela was driven by oil. He said Venezuela has more than a century of oil reserves while the US is running out, and that Washington has repeatedly sought to install a subordinate government in Caracas to secure control. Chávez described a long record of US and CIA-backed coups and assassinations across Latin America, calling it a dark and destructive period for democracy. The warning remains relevant as the United States carried out a large-scale bombing campaign on Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, forcibly removing them from the country in a direct attack on Venezuela’s sovereignty. Governments around the world have condemned the operation as a violation of international law and a blatant act of imperial control aimed at seizing Venezuela’s oil resources and undermining its political independence.

Washington couldn’t steal Venezuela's gold, its oil, or its elections, so they had to settle for Maduro's plane. While the US cries about Russia, Venezuela & Iran’s “lack of democracy,” this illegal act is pretty tyrannical.

🇻🇪 "The American empire is playing a dangerous card — dangerous for our region, and dangerous for themselves. The U.S. empire has a war plan to try to forcibly impose its hegemony." President Maduro warns of US action in the Southern Hemisphere and reminds us why the USA is REALLY after Venezuela. "Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, the fourth-largest gas reserves, and potentially the biggest gold reserves on Earth. And we have another kind of wealth: the Bolivarian project."
