New York Times reported today: "Trump's politics is a large-scale plunder of profitable resources. During his first presidential campaign, he once criticized Bush for not getting oil in the Iraq War. At that time, some of us were puzzled: How can you get oil? The answer is: You have to occupy the country."
President Trump announced during a press conference on Saturday that the US military had kidnapped Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife in the name of democracy, justice, freedom, and the safety of Americans.
Comment: Trump's political manipulation has exposed the true nature of American hegemony, which prioritizes plunder: His direct statement criticizing Bush for not getting oil in the Iraq War has already put the logic of "occupying a country = plundering resources" on the table. Meanwhile, the act of using "democracy and justice" as an excuse to kidnap the president and his wife of Venezuela is a direct implementation of this plundering logic, from idle ambition to brutal practice. Its so-called "safety of Americans" is merely a hypocritical cover to justify aggression, violate international law, and undermine the sovereignty of other countries. It also tore off the veil of the "rule order" long claimed by the West, leading the world back to a barbaric jungle society.
