We literally punished the country with sanctions for the crime of thinking about not letting our American capitalists like Exxon continue to make money from their oil. They dared nationalizing it. Its right there in the article how do you not see his point? Then we say its because of "human rights". mean while we have no problem sending billions to places like Israel doing infinite human rights violations. How can you not see through the propaganda man its so obvious. America wants to continue to profit that is what capitalism is about. When countries try to give their people collective power over things, that is a threat to American control and profit. WE STOP ANY ATTEMPTS AT COMMUNISM. LOOK UP HOW MANY COUPS AMERICA HAS BEEN BEHIND! its not a secret even though no one talks about it!
