Note how the US government's propaganda narrative has changed: First the Trump admin claimed it was waging war on Venezuela because of drugs -- a blatant lie (the US supports the worst drug traffickers in Latin America). Now they admit that this is actually because Venezuela nationalized its oil industry and kicked out US corporations. The US colonial war of aggression is aimed at reversing Venezuela's expropriation of its own oil assets. According to the Trump administration, Venezuela's oil assets belong to US corporations.

American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries and drugs. x.com/marcorubio/sta…
