Where does Venezuela go from here? No one seems to know—including the Trump Admin
While Trump clearly stated his desire for the U.S. to commandeer Venezuela’s oil, the actual future of the country under U.S. influence doesn’t give Venezuelans self-determination

It’s been very striking to see mainstream news coverage of Venezuela. The not-so-subtle framing is: this wasn’t a bad idea. The sourcing is: a random assortment of people in the U.S. who don’t have to deal with the ramifications of Trump’s strike on Venezuela.
