Venezuela in Context | Reading List
The United States has kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and is now claiming that it will control the country's oil. This is only the latest in a long history of U.S. involvement in the region. For more on that history, consider these titles.
On January 3rd, the United States initiated a bombing campaign in Venezuela and kidnapped the sitting President, Nicolás Maduro. This comes after American airstrikes on several vessels in the Caribbean that were alleged to have been carrying drugs, providing a pretext for invasion that cloaks America's desire to control Venezuela's oil reserves beneath the thin veneer of a new War on Drugs.
This bogus justification was only half-hearted, as American officials now insist in no uncertain terms that all resources in the Americas are to be controlled by the U.S. empire and that "American dominance in the western hemisphere will never be questioned again.”
