I posted a summary here.

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3190900

The narrative is far beyond “imperialist Venezuela”. Exxon is claiming oil reserves within Venezuelan maritime borders, its neighbour is an American puppet regime, and America is looking to establish a military base right next door.

Last but not least, Venezuela is being forced to accept opaque “electoral reforms” in return for an easing of sanctions.
