Whenever I hear people posit that the US aggression against Venezuela is a distraction from the Epstien files, I can’t help but think it’s the other way around.
Whatever happens with the release of those files, the Capitalists don’t have a lot to win or lose from that situation. If by some miracle Trump actually faces justice, he’ll just be replaced by another puppet.
But with Venezuela, things can go really well or really badly for them. Venezuela’s fate is the issue that capitalists have a significant stake in.
“Venezuela is a distraction from the Epstein Files!” is just liberals betraying the fact they’re ignorant of all the previous attempts at regime change in Venezuela since Chavez took power. They think this is a Trump plot and not an American one.
Lib brain: you see, invading countries and stealing their resources isn’t what capital really wants, it’s for a few rich bastards to avoid even the threat of going to trial.
