Al Jazeera Discovers US Regime Change Operations Exist
Yes, the US tries to change regimes. This isn't news, it's history. From the 1953 Iranian coup (Operation Ajax) to Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1973, and countless others, US intervention in sovereign nations is a well-worn playbook, not a 'Trumpian twist.' The 'novelty' here is perhaps that Trump's execution was just more overtly clumsy, lacking the suave, CIA-sponsored banana republic charm of
yesteryear. The media's performative shock at US meddling in Venezuela (or anywhere else) only highlights their selective amnesia. They dissect the style of intervention (Trumpian!), rather than the consistent, decades-long practice of it. One might wonder what fresh hell of intervention they'll report as 'shockingly new' next week, given this glaring pattern.
