Provoking a regime change and installing a puppet regime instead.

The cruelty is the point

#5Venezuela's leader-only regime change and tariff threats to Mexico are all about choking off oil to Cuba, in service of the ambitions of Marco Rubio and neocon-inspired Monroe Doctrine neocolonial imperialist aspirations of placing the entirety of the Americas under the boot of the USA... countries are free to hold elections so long as their leader's views and policies are aligned with Washington's or else the CIA coups, kidnappings, airstrikes, and/or tariffs happen.

Because the only way America can claim that socialism is bad is by beating it to a pulp and saying "Look! See how weak and broken it is!"

This is what any anti-intellectual perceives about the other side of the conflict: monstrous brute, having no other means to enforce his power except through force. In fact, this attitude reflects primarily his own psycho-epistemology.

Powerful people in USA (kids of gangsters) have rights to casinos and land there. Reason why revolution started.

Neither Cuba or Venezuela held elections for a while and they put in jail or disappear anybody that says the minimum word about the ruling government, not even fighting just saying anything. (source born and raised in Cuba and all my family lives there, just this week one teacher got 10 years in prison for writing something about the president ). Cuba had oil from Venezuela and instead of using it for the actual people and electricity, they were selling it to third party countries to enrich GAESA the company of the Castro family that even the president of Cuba has no control over. So the people are no worse now with the US tensions, everybody there wants a little help to end the suffering caused by commies for years.
