Decolonization is not a metaphor.
Before the eyes of the world, the regime in Washington is exposed once again. Emboldened by the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and the swift assertion of U.S. control over Venezuela's oil assets, its latest attempt to bring a chief adversary to its knees has met an insurmountable obstacle: the unconquerable Iranian people. Instead, a political consequence has been imposed and the costs of imperialist subversion in West Asia have been raised. American bases across the Arabian Peninsula have become a liability for their host nations, vulnerable to retaliation by a people whose national sovereignty will not be compromised under any circumstances. Here stands a people defiant and proud, afraid of neither Washington nor Tel Aviv, willing and able to strike at the heart of imperialism and its circuits of capital accumulation.
