What past US administration has not been brazenly imperialist? Regime change has been the policy in Venezuela since Chavez took power. And the US has been propping up dictators in south and central America since the Spanish American War ended.
It's an excellent example that shows the difference between Trump's marketing slogans of 'fighting the deep state', and the clear and apparent reality.
Would have been nice for the Guardian to be upset about corruption and criminality in Venezuela over the past two decades. But no, it's time to blame America for that country's demise just as it's about to have a revolution against the socialism and corruption that did it in.
In fairness to The Guardian, they've been writing about it for years. Online coverage seems to have started in 1999, with a few significant articles reproduced from earlier print versions.
