Venezuela is not the first and will not be the last

Venezuela is not an isolated case, it is the story of the colonialism and the greedy oil and minerals companies.

We saw it in Iran in early 1950th, in Kongo in the 1960th, in Egypt through the 1950th and the 1960th, in Lebanon in the 1950th, and in 1970th, in Chile and in Vietnam in the 1970th in Nicaragua in 1980th, in Panama in 1990th, in Iraq in 1990th and still going on, Afghanistan early 2000, the nonstop aggression and military coups in Haiti, now against Iran again ……and more and more, no enough room to list all historical and current western aggressions.

In one hand the colonialism power can’t accept that their colonies, the so called third world countries, could advanced and be developed out of the control of the colonizing power and not for their own benefit

In the other hand these greedy oil and minerals companies can’t tolerate that any country can use their natural resources to be develop their economy for the well being of the citizen without getting an illegitimate cut.

Both don't like to see any of the so called the so called third world countries achieve their independence and live in dignity and plan their own destiny.

What we are seeing in Palestine for more than 100 years, is the same, and that is why they created and blindly supporting Zionism to continue terrorizing and controlling the entire region.

The new US administration is not pioneer in this, it is not that different than UK, Belgium, Canada, France, and all previous US administrations, with no exception, and I can't forget Germany that still carrying the Nazi’s ideology while it publicly condemns their practice.

The only different we see from this current US administration is being blunt and clear, not hiding behind the laughably slogans of democracy and women freedom, while using it as needed.

Venezuela is not the first and will not be the last, colonizing is back and unless people united against it will keep growing and be greedier, and no single one in the world will be safe.
