Why the heck is the U.S. messing around in Venezuela? Admittedly it is a poorly run country. It couldn’t pay federal workers for a month, it has backed out of international accords, it deserts its allies. Oh wait, that’s the U.S.
Perhaps we are concerned with its lack of democracy. If so, we better also worry about Poland, Hungary, the Philippines, Egypt, Turkey, etc., etc.
Perhaps we think it is a threat to our security. No, that would be North Korea with its nuclear weapons, and Trump is having another meeting with the North Koreans.
Perhaps it is because food is scarce. But we are imposing sanctions to make shortages worse, not sending in relief supplies.
Maybe it is because the U.S. has a long history of interfering in Latin American affairs, and we see no reason to change.
