the sad truth is that the revelation around the aid convoys in venezuela (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/10/world/americas/venezuela-aid-fire-video.html) was beyond predictable but entirely obvious. it's to the point where you instantly assume that the americans must have bombed their own aid as occam 's razor.

if you dissect the statement, there are some truths and half-truths to it. it is true that there is a humanitarian crisis in venezuela, and that the government has mismanaged the situation. it is also true that the sanctions have exacerbated a situation of poor management. and, while i haven't looked into it very deeply, i've seen this situation before: the security forces are probably reacting to provocateurs, who are inciting them into violence to generate headlines. then, cnn will run a story about some protestors being shot, but will forget to mention that they were lighting cop cars on fire.
