A Criminal Affair: United States Imposes War on the Venezuelan People, by Tom Whitney, May 16 2019

       "To violate moral and legal norms doesn’t seem to matter to the U.S. government. But in a world of justice, they do matter. A first step in making things right is to make known the purposes and methods of U.S. interventionists. The message would be simply that for them Venezuela’s oil and U.S. regional domination matter more than does human survival."
