"So here we are… Trump invades Venezuela, claims the U.S. will run it, and then dismisses the primary opposition leader [María Corina Machadowho], by all accounts, would be the obvious person to elevate. That’s because Trump isn’t focused on democracy. He’s focused on control. He’s focused on oil."

"As for the timing of this regime change, think of where Trump is right now: tanking in the polls and losing some of his base, as resistance grows and the fifth anniversary of January 6 looms. Trump is also becoming more grandiose, in reaction to the fears that likely haunt him at night about his declining powers. In other words, he was ripe for a heroic mission that would occupy the press 24/7."

It’s about the oil."
