US Congressional Leaders Briefed on Venezuela

Anti-Trump narrative

Though the Trump administration claims that Venezuela is not Iraq 2.0, the actual plan is far from clear and the similarities are striking. Now, like then, the U.S. is promising a limited intervention to temporarily run the country — in the Middle East that meant years of occupation and permanent disaster. As Trump has neither a legal basis nor the public support to implement his goals in Venezuela, he must allow Venezuelans to determine their own future.
