In a fiery critique echoing across continents, a Mexican student in Beijing called the Trump administration's recent military strike in Venezuela a "resource grab," as tensions flare in Latin America. The operation, launched on January 2, 2026, marks the largest U.S. military action in the region since 1989—and young voices are leading the charge against it. 💥
"This isn’t about democracy—it’s about oil and control," said the student, who requested anonymity, during an interview with CGTN. His words reflect growing skepticism among Gen Z observers tracking geopolitical power plays. 🌐
Leaders in Colombia and Brazil joined Mexico in condemning the strike, while social media trends like #NoMoreIntervention blew up globally. Analysts say the backlash could reshape U.S.-Latin America relations for years. 📉
With Venezuela’s vast oil reserves at the center of debates, the student added: "We’ve seen this script before—it’s colonialism wearing a new mask." 🔥
