The US Empire isn’t committing genocide in Palestine and attacking Venezuela out of “stupidity.” The US Empire is rational, and acting in its own self-interest. Israel is a US millitary base in west Asia, and Venezuela is daring to go against US imperialism and try to harness its own production and resources for their benefit. The US Empire’s aggression is rational, not simply a matter of stupidity.
Venezuela under Chavez and Maduro has seen dramatic expansions in social welfare, democratization, and poverty alleviation. The opposition wishes to establish itself as a comprador class to sell out their people to the US Empire. Venezuelans have the choice between resisting the system that keeps them perpetually underdeveloped, US imperialism, or resist that and risk millitary confrontation. Venezuela has bravely chosen the latter, and going along with imperialist framing of Venezuelan leaders just cedes legitimacy to the narrative the US Empire is concocting to justify invasion.
