International law won't constrain Trump's thirst for oil. But every solar panel that goes up makes crude reserves that much less valuable

Just possibly it's the oil?

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.
It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.
Most notable exception: the Latin American left.
That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

It's a fragile thing, and the times we're living in aren't giving us much reason. But a better future is possible - and it's ours if we build it together.

On the "boots on the ground" question and Trump saying that it will mainly be about protecting oil operations.
Given this framing, we should expect a massive payday for politically connected mercenary companies, who will use this to expand their private armies.

While working people get crushed by the cost of everything, we know where the money is—it’s stuck at the top.
We need a government with the courage to go and get some of it for all of us. A wealth tax of 1% on the 1% could raise as much as $40B a year.

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.
