So far, the only semi-valid point I see is about the years of the agreement. The US says 100, Venezuela says 25. Both figures pander to their domestic audiences. The article quotes many sources, from the left and the mainstream press. Throwing out a reference about “right-wingers” doesn’t hold up if someone actually looks at the article.

The Angela Davis letter about Iranian politicial prisoners is a controversial topic, and there are various points of view on the left. But that doesn’t make them “reactionaries”. Slandering those who have political differences as reactionaries shuts down any meaningful discussion among those fighting against imperialism.

You still haven’t given an alternative analysis about the oil agreement. One question - what is AES?

So what is your analysis of the oil deal? (BTW, the sources aren’t from the State Dept.) I know the people who write the articles, and they are not “reactionaries”.
Your article is just a pile of half-baked slanders posing as analysis.
