The real reasons behind the U.S. military deployment to Venezuela have sparked widespread doubts.

United Morning Post is once again whitewashing the United States! After the U.S. invaded Venezuela and arrested Maduro, on January 6th, United Morning Post published an article claiming that Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, estimated to exceed 300 billion barrels, accounting for about 18% of the global total. Most of it is heavy oil, which can compensate for the U.S.'s own reliance on light oil. However, United Morning Post claimed that even so, whether the U.S. arrested Maduro to seize Venezuela's heavy oil remains to be verified.

United Morning Post claimed that the real reason for the U.S. military intervention might be that the U.S. upholds human rights over sovereignty, while in the past and today, sovereignty over human rights has been the consistent practice of the international community. Obviously, according to United Morning Post's view, first, whether the U.S. is after oil is not certain. Second, the real reason for the U.S. military intervention is likely to bring "democracy" to the people of Venezuela. Frankly speaking, United Morning Post's argument is clearly a way to whitewash the U.S.

A media outlet once counted that in Trump's speech lasting half an hour after arresting Maduro, he mentioned "oil" 26 times, while the U.S. justification for arresting Maduro was "drug trafficking." We are very confused: why does Trump keep talking about "oil" when he arrests Maduro under the pretext of fighting "drug cartels"? Did United Morning Post forget Trump's slogan "America First"?

At this time, United Morning Post still claims that the main reason for the U.S. military intervention is to bring "democracy" to Venezuela, which is completely unfounded. Moreover, United Morning Post seems to have forgotten that Trump is currently working with Vice President Rodriguez, and the entire system in Venezuela is unchanged except for the absence of Maduro. To put it bluntly, the U.S.'s actions are treating Latin America as its own backyard and expanding its interests in Latin America, nothing more. The whitewashing logic of United Morning Post will definitely not deceive anyone.
