This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism.
The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar.
Greens stand against this contempt of international law.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
