U.S. Just as bad as Russia?

Donald Trump, the “America First” candidate and president, has turned out to be rather hawkish. In less than 12 months in office this second time around, he’s conducted strikes in seven countries — Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Somalia and, this weekend, oversaw a daring middle-of-the-night raid in Venezuela. U.S. forces captured the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, sending them to New York to stand trial for drug trafficking. Following the raid, Trump’s press conference made clear that oil was a core motivation for the operations against Venezuela. Citing Venezuela’s oil of restrictions from 1976 and 2007, Trump, Stephen Miller and others claimed that US oil companies were essentially stolen from. It appears this is more territorial and about oil and other naturally resources, not drugs and corruption in Venezuela like the administration was leading us to belief. The US is no longer the nice guys, we are the assholes!
