Nothing Delivered: Trump’s ‘Antiwar’ Deception

With Trump, the people thought they voted for something different, but what they received was more of the same.

At the same time, he was starving some of the poorest people in the world, from Venezuela to North Korea, with “maximum pressure” sanctions.

And it is clear that in one form or another presumed President-elect Joe Biden will continue the regime change efforts of both of these prior administrations, along with the sanctions. In short, there will be no rest for the weary in Venezuela.
