Trump threatens war and punitive tariffs to recapture Iranian resources – just as in 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and US corporations immediately seized 40% of the oil, says SEVIM DAGDELEN
THE Tories and their media allies are using the escalating crisis in Venezuela to attack Jeremy Corbyn — and their agenda is regime change, both at home and abroad.
“What [Hugo] Chavez did to Venezuela, Corbyn could do to Britain,” tweeted the Conservative press office recently, linking to a Telegraph piece with the same headline.
The Daily Mail — also linked to by Tory press officers — reminded readers that the Labour leader had once said that Chavez “showed us a different and better way of doing things — it’s called socialism,” before it added ominously that “every voter should remember those words — and be warned.”
