Please never again write USA/west. We have no interest in being associated together, to do so is offensive.
The U.S has cut it's ties, and we are thankful for it. The U.S stands alone, and leads no-one.
These goals are those of Trump. It is unfortuante that your entire State and citizenry can't control him, so that now his actions are yours also, but they are not ours.
Please refrain from presuming this horrendous association.
Trump is just the manifestation of the mask coming off for the US and West. Sanctions, coups, and military interventions were the bipartisan decisions of the US government before Trump, and they continue to be the policy during Trump. Do you think the Venezuelans strangled by poverty due to US sanctions were any less strangled by Bush, Obama, or Biden? Did the justification of "Human Rights" or "Democracy" make any difference to those Venezuelans killed by the right wing US backed opposition now that they're being killed because of a "Narco-Terrorism" hoax?
If you think Trump is a unique occurrence for US imperialism, then you are missing the forests for the trees. The only tangible difference between Trump and those before him is how he brands the actions of the global US dictatorship.
How many of the west have ACTUALLY stopped sending aid and weapons to Israel? Or stop letting them do false flags in their country or divested from them economically?
Until that is an actual reality then they are all still the same hegemony
Canada stopped supplying arms a year ago.
Australia supplies F35 parts through the Americans.
The rest, all the other countries ascribed to the West, reject U.S policy.
But we're not talking about Israel, we're talking about the U.S trying to pull everyone into beleiving that they have International support in a war on Venezuela. They don't.
The U.S has long abused its power with its allies in the past, to maintain footholds in regions with apparent International support using the term " the West.' That time is over. No one will back him over a Venezuelan war.
Yes, that is the history of the development of European nations and U.S Imperialism.
But that doesn't mean that those countries still consider themselves tied to the U.S and are so locked in step that they can be refered to as U.S/The West, now.
That time is over. The U.S cannot command that comparison. The U.S has separated itself from the West and is trying to pull them along by these inferences.
The West is not going to go to war in Venezuela. The West does not support the U.S. They cannot be counted together. The relationship is adversarial for myriad reasons. And so be it.
The U.S also called themselves the leader of the free world and the beacon of democracy, and that shit is over, too.
You should look at the history of CIA actions in South East Asia and South America during the Cold War.
This is the CIA playbook. It makes things look unstable, and then goes in to 'stabilise' They create and arm factions and put in puppets. There might be a threat of civil war, or there may be no threat of civil war at all. This author lives in New York. Not sure he's got the pulse. Lots of propaganda is pushed before things like this. It's become obvious over the decades.
If you really want to understand how the CIA is, they armed and supported Osama Bin Laden in the 80s in the Afghan war against Russia, and they've had their hand in drugs for a very long time. Look up Iran/CONTRA.
As U.S.-Venezuela tensions rise, sociologist and historian Emmanuel Guerisoli wrote in Spanish in Venezuela’s El Nacional that a civil war is “very likely” if the United States tries to unilaterally oust President Nicolás Maduro.
Newsweek has reached out to Guerisoli and the State Department for comment via email on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump confirmed last week that the United States seized a tanker off the coast of Venezuela, calling it “the largest one ever seized” and signaling a sharp escalation in tensions with Maduro’s government.
Why do we even let these propaganda pushers post here? Newsweek have to be one of the least reliable sources on the planet, constantly pushing the most Western agendas without an ounce of critical analysis.

We know how the CIA operates, thanks.
Right. I like how open a secret it is.
The sweet sweet oil reserves ...
For someone people keep calling a dictator, he certainly has a lot of popular support.
Maduro? Where are you getting that from?
Edit: lmao this subreddit is deeply unserious
:))
Some people call it the new Vietnam. Don't know.
I guess, chaos, no matter what, is the actual goal of USA/west. Chaos is a ladder. But it is like a rope ladder used to go down.

Bipartisan in the U.S,sure, but I don't see Europe or Australia or New Zealand doing these things or pushing these agendas.

All of Europe except Germany, Czechia and the U.K

It’s the same thing! Western hegemony is all of them. They all benefit and have their economies, wealth and assets because of colonialism/imperialism

And I say again, duh
Foreign nation overthrows government which leads to Chaos. Who knew? The CIA specialty

Emmanuel Guerisoli lives in New York City.
Reportedly writing in Spanish in Venezuela's El Nacional.
The way it's written sure makes you think he's Venezuelan, huh?
They're not even that good at trying to create a cassus belli. This is amateur hour stuff.
