U.S. IMPERIALISM BEHIND BOGUS CHARGES AGAINST VENEZUELA PRES. NICOLAS MADURO

U.S. has recently filed bogus "narco-terrorism" charges against a sovereign country's leader - Venezuelan Pres. Nicolas Maduro - and other known associates, after the U.S. and its European allies-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido failed to get critical mass support for an attempted overthrow of Pres. Maduro. Guaido is not as popular as Pres. Maduro with the Venezuelan people, his image is just propped-up by paid or biased Western mainstream media abroad.

The U.S., with its European cronies, had directly or indirectly overthrown sovereign leaders before - Panama's Manuel Noriega in 1989, Iraq's Saddam Hussein in 2003, Libya's Muammar Khadafy in 2011, among others. The U.S. always comes up with excuses like narco-trafficking, weapons of mass destruction, oppression or what-have-you. All these cases have two things in common - these leaders have become unfriendly to the U.S. and their countries had something very important to U.S. interests. For Pres. Nicolas Maduro's case it is Venezuela's very rich oil reserves (Venezuela has 20% of global oil reserves).

In December 2018 Russia landed 2-long range nuclear bombers (TU-160's) in Venezuela at the invitation of its long-time ally to make a statement. Let's hope that Russia continues to stand up to these constant U.S. aggression against unwilling "allies". Let's hope that Russia and China remains a potent force in helping keep in check U.S. and its European allies' imperialist overtures.
