As Trump eyes Venezuela, one key target may be closer to home — In @GlobeIdeas, @stephenkinzer writes that U.S. threats against Venezuela are driven more by a strategy to weaken Cuba than by concerns about Venezuela itself. https://t.co/4NvHqOkqyO

Cuba could be factoring into the White House’s calculations.

My @GlobeIdeas column: "Forcing change in Venezuela would not be worth this massive deployment if the reason had to do with Venezuela alone. The real reason is that Venezuela is a stepping stone toward the grand prize: Cuba."

I believe Acheson made that comment in jest.
@stephenkinzer I'm in the middle of reading your excellent book, The Brothers. I was struck when you wrote that someone read the FULL old and new testaments at Foster's funeral. Knowing that that would literally take more than 60hrs, did this actually happen?

https://t.co/J10iCA8mp5 my @GlobeIdeas column: How crazy is it to imagine that a president of the United States would order the invasion of a Latin American country on the grounds that its leader is a drug dealer? Not crazy at all — in fact, it’s been done before.

Is Venezuela the new Taiwan? — In his @GlobeIdeas column, @stephenkinzer writes that Trump’s military escalation against Venezuela rests on discredited drug-gang claims, risks inflaming Latin America, and is pushing Caracas closer to China. https://t.co/zwzwu7WkuL

The Trump administration has falsely accused President Nicolás Maduro of direct involvement with the country’s drug cartels. China is coming to his defense.

I would definitely suggest @stephenkinzer’s book All The Sha’s Men for anyone interested in learning more about this terrible event in world history.
On this day in 1953, the US and Britain carried out a brutal coup that deposed Mohammad Mosaddegh, the popular Prime Minister of Iran, beloved for his progressive and pro-worker reforms, because he sought to restore national control over the country's oil reserves.

My @GlobeIdeas column: "Is there space for another picture on your wall? If so, the Department of Homeland Security has a recommendation...'American Progress' became popular because it portrays us as we like to think we are."
