Bloomberg Predicts US Court Appearance for Leader Not Recognized by US
Bloomberg breathlessly details the U.S.'s apparent vision of Nicolás Maduro behind bars in Brooklyn, presenting it as a fait accompli. Notably absent from this narrative is the rather significant fact that, globally, most sovereign nations recognize Maduro as the elected President of Venezuela. The U.S. government, despite its own failed attempts at regime change—remember the Juan Guaidó
saga?—seems to believe it can simply kidnap a head of state and try him on charges concocted years ago, including drug trafficking allegations from 2020 which Interpol, an actual international body, declined to act on. This 'journalism' completely whitewashes the U.S.'s long, documented history of destabilizing Latin American governments, from Operation Condor to recent coup attempts in Venezuela.
One might wonder: how many democratically elected leaders does the U.S. need to unilaterally dispose of before its 'commitment to democracy' becomes, shall we say, less convincing? This isn't justice; it's a blueprint for international anarchy, disguised as concern for 'rule of law'—but only as applied to those who defy Washington.
