The motives aren't hidden; in fact, they're more than clear and have been mentioned quite often. It's more obvious that the intervention is aimed at seizing resources than at guaranteeing the well-being of citizens. Politicians don't make decisions out of love for their fellow citizens.
I'm bored with the "Trump is bad, he wants oil" narrative. We all know that. He's not the only one. Venezuela hasn't owned its own resources for many years. I dare say this dictatorship made it easy for the United States to take over everything, using the excuse that human rights no longer exist here, along with the shortages, hyperinflation, and everything else we already know is wrong here. And as usual, they arrive like heroes, but everything has a price.
I don't know where you're from, I don't know what you've been through, but unfortunately, so far this intervention seems to be the best thing that has happened in Venezuela in 26 years.
We Venezuelans don't want our territory bombed, we don't want to be invaded, we don't want to be a colony, but I repeat, so far this seems like a better scenario than continuing to live in a communist dictatorship.
Venezuela is not a sovereign and democratic state. For years, the atrocities committed here have been denounced internationally, and the supposed authorities who could perhaps intervene legally DO NOTHING, THEY DO NOT HELP.
"It is the Venezuelan people who must take it upon themselves to remove the dictatorship." We have tried year after year, both by force and through elections. Nothing has worked because they have absolute control of the armed forces. It's too long and complex to explain if you don't live here, if you haven't lived under a dictatorship.
All I hope for the people is more freedom so you can rebuild and protect yourselves individually before the shackles of the IMF, as preferable as they may be compared to what you had, get put on too tightly over time.
