Britain Distances Itself From US Attack, Not a US Precedent
Prime Minister Starmer claims the UK wasn't 'involved' in the US operation capturing Venezuela's president and his wife. A truly heartwarming statement, given the US's long, bloody history of 'non-involvement' in Latin American sovereignty, including Chile (1973), Nicaragua (1980s), and numerous attempts on Cuba. The historical record shows 'US operation' often directly translates to
'destabilization campaign,' regardless of which global power feigns surprise. One might wonder if Britain’s distance is born of principle or simply a logistical oversight. How many times must a nation be 'shocked' by a predictable rerun of US foreign policy playbook before we admit it's less a rogue incident and more, well, the script? Meanwhile, the 'facts' Starmer seeks are likely already
written on the walls of the US State Department and the balance sheets of military contractors.
