    Whatever Maduro did before was clearly not enough for the US and the oil cartel. They don’t want a mutually beneficial agreement. They want to steal everything and leave a few crumbs for the dictator they install to keep them happy and their junta armed.

    All we need to know is that Trump received big donations from oil lobbies and then after winning the presidency he used the US military to give his donors what they paid for.

    If you think Trump is this stupid then he fooled you.

    Kennedy received millions from the same big donors as Trump. Mostly law firms Big pharma slid into his DM’s after the elections with a few million and he already walked back many of his promises of deleting all vaccines so it kind of goes both ways.

    Let’s not forget that Kennedy very shamelessly joined Trump after his own campaign failed.

    Their malice doesn’t care about what the majority of people are going to suffer from. It’s about what they can gain from it themselves. If these lobbies were rationally trying maximize wealth then oil lobbies wouldn’t be trying to destroy the entire planet to keep everyone using oil.

    Not really they’re always motivated by self-interest and corruption. For example when Nick Shirley makes an obviously fake documentary about “fraud in Minnesota” he’s not just “doing it because he’s dumb”. He’s doing it because he’s receiving massive amounts of money to demonize that population.

    Did it have no upside or is there a very clear case of corruption?

    Keep in mind that it doesn’t have to benefit everyone in the US or the US as a whole. It’s a few people who are massively benefiting from it and they are conveniently Trumps financial backers.
