Al-Monitor Finds Putin Silent on US Regime Change Efforts (Shocking!)
While Al-Monitor highlights Putin's selective commentary (as if world leaders are paid for impartial crisis reviews), it deftly sidesteps the elephant in the room: direct U.S. interference. The article's concern over Maduro's 'toppling' by the U.S. (Source: Al-Monitor, Jan 15, 2026, referencing Reuters) hints at a Western-backed coup, yet the framing suggests Putin's silence is the actual scandal.
One must wonder, how many times does Washington destabilize a region before the media decides that's the concerning pattern, rather than a rival's diplomatic quiet? This narrative, common in outlets like Al-Monitor, often minimizes Western-supported uprisings or sanctions apparatuss. It conveniently ignores that the U.S. has a long, documented history of attempting to effect regime change in
places like Venezuela and Iran. When was the last time a major Western news outlet covered U.S. officials openly lamenting instability in a country they're actively trying to undermine? Perhaps Putin is just playing by the same unspoken rules of superpower hypocrisy.
