The last twenty years of socialism in Venezuela already did that. Have you seen the extreme poverty there? The once nice, now crumbling infrastructure? The Venezuelan people have already had most of their assets stolen.
That's a pretty good reason for these corporations to keep their grubby hands off Venezuela. At least give the people some time to recover, before stepping in to strip mine their economy again.
And when I say 'again', you know that it was the exploitation by US companies that led to Hugo Chavez ascending to power, right?
I simply don't believe that there can exist even a tentative plan this soon after breaking news, when it's still not clear what the Venezuelan government will even look like in March. I can imagine a lot of reasons why the "chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors" might want to create FOMO about it though!
Seems a bit premature. Maduro is gone but nothing has fundamentally changed. His government is intact, just with a warning from Trump to follow orders “or else”.
Anything printed in mainstream Western press in the immediate aftermath of something like the Maduro op should be read as perception management first and foremost, with only a tangential relationship to disseminating truth.
Seems like our leaders laundered our money through the US military and government apparatus, to the tunes of billions of dollars, so that they could carry out the dirty work of overthrowing the Venezuelan government in order to enrich Exxon and other oil companies. That's our money doing this. My money doing this. Boomers are cooked, man.

Is this any different from manufactured consent?
