The United States of America and its thug in chief, Donald Trump, have once again set their sights on Latin America.
He's supposedly doing this to protect American youth by fighting drugs.
If you eat!
The Trump who said that was a close friend and party regular of Eppstein, who was drugging children for rich tycoons.
We all know very well that drugs are not the issue. Even deaf ears know that about 85 percent of the world's drug money is circulated through the US casino and finance system.
But is it Venezuelan oil?
Of course, he is not the only one.
Trump, an unchecked force, wants to rebuild the world order shaped by two world wars in favor of the US.
He wants to do this not only in Latin America but in all regions of the world, from the Middle East to the Far East.
This is the situation, and unfortunately, there is no ‘military power’ to stand against the US at the moment.
This is basically where the problem comes from.
In the last half-century, China has become an economic power that surpasses the United States with a model that can be called state-led capitalism. And with this economic power, it has become powerful enough to forge new alliances in geographies formerly under the influence of the US and the West.
Seeing China's economic and diplomatic sphere of influence expanding from Iran to Venezuela, from many countries in Africa to Central Asia, the US is aware that it cannot stand economically in the face of this expansion.
However, since China is not expanding militarily in this growing economic sphere of influence, it often leaves the countries that develop relations with it alone in the face of US aggression.
The same picture emerged after Trump's coup in Venezuela. China's position was limited to calling an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council together with Russia and Colombia.
However, institutions such as the UNSC have proven time and again to be dysfunctional in the face of the US and its spoiled child Israel.
President Erdogan has often mentioned “The world is bigger than 5’ It was a criticism of the UNSC's five permanent members (the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom) with veto power, and he was absolutely right.
However, just as the concept of ‘law’, which balances the scales between being right and being strong, always shifts the scales to the side of ‘power' on a national basis, this is even more so in international law.
In other words, in a world order where international institutions cannot achieve results through law against banditry, there is no other option but to confront power with power?
Otherwise, the world, let alone being bigger than 5, is smaller than a maniac with a shady past like Trump.
Trump still considers the oil nationalized by Venezuela in 1975 to be US financial assets and says: ’We will take back the oil they stole from us‘!
How dare you?
“There really is such a thing as imperialism,” Mehmet Ali Birand wrote after the ugly treatment of the lynch mob after the overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya was reported in the world press.
He was over 60 years old and a journalist of many years when he wrote this!
Today, after the images of Maduro being paraded through the streets of New York in a car with the door open, I wonder if anyone is convinced that imperialism really exists!
“The world will never be bigger than 5 as long as there are those who look at the world through the eyes of María Corina Machado, the Nobel Prize-winning apparatus who called for the US to invade her country, Venezuela, and those who polled ”Is it legitimate to ask for foreign aid to overthrow a dictatorial government or not?’.
It is not possible to establish a world in which the peoples are free and resources are shared fairly with those who repeat the rote of ‘but they also condemned their peoples to misery’ without seeing the economic sanctions imposed by imperialism to impoverish countries and peoples and to take over the regimes that do not surrender to it.
That is why we say; the fight against imperialism will first begin by healing the minds that have been sedated by imperialism. Without breaking the ideological hegemony, it will not be possible for the peoples who say ‘another world is possible’ to stand up.
