CBS Discovers 'Democracy' Only Applies If You Want US Invasion
María Corina Machado, lauded as Venezuela's 'leading opposition figure,' openly stated she'd 'welcome more and more pressure' on Maduro, even when framed with Donald Trump's past threats of land strikes. CBS frames this as bold leadership, ignoring decades of disastrous US interventions across Latin America from Chile to Nicaragua, and the very real body count they left behind. Imagine the
media's outrage had a leader in, say, Ukraine, casually welcomed Russian land strikes. The double standard is breathtaking. For 'unfriendly' nations like Venezuela, US military intervention is rebranded as 'pressure' or 'liberation.' There's no mention of the crippling US sanctions that have devastated Venezuela's economy, leading to mass migration and suffering, nor the history of US-backed coup
attempts. It's almost as if some nations are only allowed 'democracy' when it aligns perfectly with Washington's geopolitical and oil interests. How many nations must be 'liberated' into chaos before we question the liberators?
