On the 15th of November, activists showed up at the White House to demand Donald Trump cease and desist his violent attacks on and threats against Venezuala.
Trump’s US has bombed Venezualan boats, shot down an unidentified Venezualan aircraft(hope to hell it was a drone!), and is threatening the whole country with war. This is a continuation of the notorious U$ history of “gunboat diplomacy” in the nations south of the Rio Grande. It is also a typical example of the Fascist program of seeking foreign wars, same as Mussolini in Ethiopia or Nazi Germany in the rest of Europe.
Recall also that Trump backed a failed coup attempt in 2019, which had consequences inside DC itself. When the Venezualan Embassy staff was expelled, they handed the keys to Popular Resistance and Code Pink on the way out. After the coup attempt, upscale Venezualan exiles put the embassy under a literal siege that lasted for weeks. It took not one but two attempts for Secret Service to unlawfully sieze the building so it could be handed to the coup plotters’ agents.
I played a small role in that 2019 Embassy defense myself. I was on some of the teams that fought to relieve the siege by delivering food to the defenders.
