Trump's ongoing coup in Venezuela took a new turn yesterday, when Washington puppet Juan Guaidó launched a small military assault. This is a warning: revolutionary counter-measures are needed against imperialist aggression.
US imperialism's attempts at 'regime change' in Venezuela have stalled. But frustration could lead to even more desperate measures by Trump and his allies. This coup must be fought through revolutionary means.
Liberal leaders and commentators have rushed to support Washington's coup attempt in Venezuela. As ever, the liberals are providing a convenient cover for imperialism's pernicious interests.
The imperialist coup plotters had been hyping up last Saturday's 'humanitarian aid' delivery in advance, hoping for a turning point in their attempts at regime change. But in the end their plans fell flat.
US imperialism is upping the ante in its mission to implement regime change in Venezuela, attempting to provoke a clash by importing "humanitarian aid" across the border. This aggressive intervention must be combatted with revolutionary measures.
