President Donald Trump says the United States will run Venezuela at least temporarily after an audacious military operation plucked leader Nicolás Maduro from power and removed him from the country.
The US has liberated Venezuela.
Israel is liberating Gaza.
Russia is liberating Ukraine.
Imperialism speaks a singular, reality warping, language. Subjects of “democratic” nations have always thought that their state stood for something. The reality is the US has been staging coups to create faux-democratic vassal states since before any of us were born. They even staged a coup in Ukraine before Putin invaded. Can empire and a true vibrant democracy ever be compatible?
