Tell me if I am wrong: is desperation equal to ambition and passion? Is it something related to hunger or greed? Is money so scarce that we still want to extract things from the ground and manufacture more obsolescence?
Can you answer these questions to the point where you would call the next person an uneducated writer?
Even academics, I doubt they have the juice to read anything without strong verbs that often don’t make sense.
But what makes sense? Invading a country, taking its leader, legal or not, and then bringing him to your own ground to prove him wrong?
Is that normal? Is money normal? Is oil normal? Are billionaires normal? Is the top one percent normal?
What is not normal is taxpayer normal. It is not civilian normal. It is not international law normal. I am African. D
oes that mean the U.S. can one day decide to take over visibly under the pretense of imagination?
The wars on terror are not wars on terror created by perceived evil; they are created by the declarers of wars on terror. No one hates by external means. Most hate comes from internal means. Someone hasn’t cooked properly for several decades now, since Bolivia, Cuba, and the rest. We find ourselves wondering why not be plainly honest about your intentions of ruling others to your own people before taking their money and desolating a country over issues the people in that country never asked you to solve.
We are at a blind spot. Not mentioning names, but you know who is misleading us. We in Africa generally don’t have much of a voice that can shout from the rooftops. Threats are just as serious here as they are in the Americas. But there is a difference. Most countries in Africa would not put up with sudden invasion nowadays. The imagination has been awakened, not fully, but it is rising. Should there be threats of invasion, I think most countries would retaliate.
The Americas have always met threats from neighbors time after time. Even when it is not suitable, someone comes in and begins to offer a proposal to invade for reasons beyond your interest. Venezuela is in question. It has been dealt with massively, but it was all coming into being anyway. Once the attacks happened, the president was taken hostage and is now facing court mumbo jumbo. We have to ask whether everyone else should do the same.
Invasion, expansion, dominance, these are not new words. They have been with us since early humans began throwing stones at each other for territory or mating reasons. The hunger of a country to expand itself proves that we have agreed to join forces in no other way than forcefully taking, displacing, and replacing. Get it correct: the world is at the brink of tipping over. These words may not reach a wide audience, but as long as someone has read them.
The Western region will be engulfed at some point into one unit of governance. Rome ruled from Europe to parts of Asia and into Egypt. Expansion was necessary for them, but collapse was inevitable. The powerful want to expand, careless about the downfall they may face.
Perhaps it is a sign of things to come: the world in one palm, ruled by one body. Perhaps it signals a much greater threat out there, somewhere in outer space, on its way. When an empire grew too large, an outside force always presented itself. Perhaps this is the case again, an outside force waiting on the rims of space. Is it not possible that this is a way to unite a divided world, by forcefully joining it?
It could be oil. Right now it is unpleasant, but in the long run, everyone powerful enough would do the same. Countries and nation-states will not remain forever. This earth has always been about expansion. Nature follows nature: water never stays in one place unless you use powerful constraints to keep it there, like dams or swimming pools.
Attacking Venezuela is not a statement; it is a continuation of old invasion habits. We will never be satisfied with our own territory. Even nations that are quiet or opposed will eventually follow the same process for their own benefit. No one is exempt from destruction, from peace, or from global dominance. Neither are we exempt from extraterrestrial invasion. Let’s keep that in mind.
Europe may be against the attack on Venezuela, but it is guilty of similar acts in the past. So is Asia. They will end up doing the same.
So let us not blindfold our eyes and act as if this is new. It is simply the progression of what has always been. No empire limits itself. The desire to expand is always the primary goal, through minerals or through fear of losing out. It doesn’t matter.
Let us keep watch. Let us not be blindfolded.
