Trump’s Venezuela incursion has nothing to do with its freedom | Judith Levine

Whatever else the US attack on Venezuela is ostensibly about - oil, drugs, communism - it's not about the freedom of the Venezuelan people.

If Trump cared about that, he would not have lifted the temporary protective status of the roughly 600,000 Venezuelan refugees in the US, the very people fleeing the tyranny and economic instability he is now supposedly liberating them from.
