All these States resisted and opposed the fascism of Zionist Israel (which serves to de-stabilise the Middle East in favour of US interests) – so it was important for both Tel Aviv and Washington to put an end to this collective resistance. Meanwhile, wherever there is oil and Socialism – the US must steal the former and destroy the latter. This is what the military build-up around Venezuela is all about. An invasion of Venezuela will not hinder the US-control of illegal drugs around the world – but probably stimulate its trade. It is important for Washington that its own poor are kept in a drug-induced stupor that prevents any meaningful engagement in the physical world – and thus prevents the development of any type of effective Socialism. This is how the “Land of the Free” manipulates the freedom of the people it holds power over. Maduro has it right – throw scorn at ALL fascist power! We, the people, possess the world in our hands!
