The Trump gang is desperate to get its hands on Venezuela’s rich resources, continuing the long-standing greed of the United States for them. Remember the US policy towards Venezuela after Hugo Chávez was democratically elected president in 1999 and promised to nationalise oil production, which had made the country one of the largest producer, and to distribute the revenues to the people. Remember also what the CIA and its British partner MI6 did in Iran in 1953 after its democratic government decided to nationalise oil.
So that was the reason why I had to invent dynamite and become rich, in the end, really?
