I guess they need to toss something like this out there every once in a while to feign objectivity.

Paywall, but it doesn’t really matter.

Trump Was Right. Six Months Post-Maduro, Venezuelan Recovery Defies Critics

About 3 times a year they release a sane article, just for fun.
quote:
Representative Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, drew the parallel directly. “This is exactly the euphoria we felt in 2002 when our military took down the Taliban in Afghanistan,” Himes said, “in 2003 when our military took out Saddam Hussein, and in 2011 when we helped remove Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the architect of the administration’s Western Hemisphere strategy, was dismissive. “The whole foreign policy apparatus thinks everything is Libya, everything is Iraq, everything is Afghanistan,” he said. “This is not the Middle East, and our mission here is very different.”
Six months later, the chaos never came.

I think it is referring to this famous image from the late 19th/early 20th century depicting the British Empire and expansion (and I reckon explotation) in Africa.

Gringo Norte Americano stealing Venezuelan oil. Newsweek couldn't refute the Trump successes in Venezuela, so they come up with the snide cover

This isn't the Washington Post Newsweek of yesteryear. It's run by a bunch of sniveling uber-leftist hacks

First thing that I thought of was The Colossus of Rhoades.
