alt Hacker NewsVenezuela requires billions of dollars to rebuild its pillaged industry and infrastructure. There will be no economic recovery for the people without that. Where should that investment come from?

Let's be honest here. Venezuela's people are not going to see any benefit from the investment that US is planning over there, besides some token development to show the international media. Any sort of investment is going to be for pillaging their economy and resources even further. If Trump and his cronies haven't made that clear by now, the history of US involvement in that country in the past is evidence enough. This is neocolonialism - the unholy amalgamation of colonialism and capitalist exploitation. Pretending that this is for the benefit of Venezuelans is just dishonest, to put it mildly.
Venezuela is now an American colony, do you not know how colonialism works? Do you need to read a history book?
We're the ones doing the pillaging. We're going to strip them of what resources they have left, take their wealth for ourselves and leave them with nothing. We're going to make the people an underclass in their own country, serving the rich white colonizers who come in to stay at the luxury hotels and casinos Trump will be building there. Or maybe the Saudis, who knows? The world is full of rich vultures. We'll build data centers over the carcasses of their cities and shoot anyone who wants the water. We're going to rape their women and children.
And then we're going to do it to Cuba. And then maybe Mexico.
