Venezuela

The usual suspects deny it, sometimes in oh-so-thoughtful pieces, but the power outage in Venezuela has “USA” and “Trump” stamped all over it. Stuxnet, anyone?
As the article itself notes, “Cyberattacks against utilities have the ability to disrupt all facets of modern life and generate mediagenic imagery without undue risk to the initiating country, making them an almost perfect weapon.”
Yet the article concludes, without any evidence, that the US likely wasn’t involved. And the US denies it, of course.
I believe the Trump administration is behind it but even if I’m wrong, it’s so plausible that a vast number of Venezuelans will believe the US did it. They will blame the US for the deaths and suffering it causes.
More enemies. Just what this country least needs.
