AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
So, it was a war for oil after all.
President Trump announced in a social media post on Friday that the United States and Venezuela have struck an agreement for "THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY."
The whole thing is appalling, starting with the all-caps.
I have no love for the Venezuelan regime, run by, in Trump's words, "the Highly Respected Interim President" Delcy Rodriguez.
But this is a "deal" that Rodriguez couldn't refuse. We invaded her country, abducted her criminal dictator boss, Nicolás Maduro, and made her our satrap.
