Bloomberg Discovers 'US Capture' of Maduro, Not a Coup
Bloomberg's headline declares, 'Venezuela’s Path to Elections Is Unclear After Maduro’s Removal,' with the lede revealing this 'removal' as a 'US capture' of Nicolás Maduro. Funny how 'US capture' sounds much cleaner than, say, 'US-backed destabilization efforts against a sovereign nation.' It's a deft rhetorical maneuver, turning a potential international incident into a mere police action. This
'capture' (read: alleged indictment by the U.S. in 2020 on narco-terrorism charges, per the Department of Justice) appears to precede actual electoral processes. One might wonder if 'elections' were ever the primary concern, or if the destabilization of resource-rich nations (like Venezuela, holding the world's largest proven oil reserves) isn't just… business as usual for certain global
interests. After all, why bother with democratic niceties when a 'US capture' can clear the path?
