HENRY FOWLER and ROB POOLE explain the significance of today’s Megapicket
THANK you for attending this important event today against Donald Trump’s aggressive agenda in Latin America.
I’m here to make two key points. Firstly, whatever views people hold on Venezuela, there is no justification for backing US-led regime change, which, if successful, could go the way of the disastrous interventions in the Middle East. It is for Venezuelans alone to solve their difficulties.
Secondly, we shouldn’t repeat in Venezuela what happened in Iraq, when an out-of-control US president caused devastation and the widespread loss of life in pursuit of oil.
