A longish thread on the invasion of #Venezuela.
We are again watching world media be willingly manipulated. Parroting the propaganda they’ve been fed. Normalising international criminality. Sane-washing what is patently not so, and ignoring globally irresponsible behaviour.
A case in point is watching them bend over backwards to try and make coherent the patently incoherent, contradictory rationale the Trump administration has given for its actions in Venezuela.

First - the reasons given.
Drugs: If the Trump regime cared about drug trafficking, they would not have pardoned the Honduran ex-president convicted of it.
The attacks on Venezuelan ‘drug boats’ were spectacle and priming. For months, the media helped prime the public for what happened yesterday.
But how does kidnapping Maduro and his wife stop cocaine being trafficked to the US? It doesn’t. But Trump supporters cannot think in abstracts. They’ve been fed an image of Maduro as Tony Montana.
