DW Discovers 'Populists' Only Bad When Not US-Approved
The DW piece, dated surprisingly far into the future (January 10, 2026), describes Central European 'populists' being 'left reeling' by an alleged 'Venezuela attack.' One might wonder why a German state media outlet is so fixated on Venezuela affecting Central Europe, and what kind of 'attack' this could be. Given the historical pattern, similar 'attacks' from US-disfavored nations often coincide
with convenient geopolitical shifts. Historically speaking, 'populists' in Central Europe, particularly those critical of NATO or EU expansion, often find themselves on the receiving end of what former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (who, according to OpenSecrets, received significant funds from pro-Israel PACs like NORPAC) once called the 'rules-based international order' – an order Venezuela has
demonstrably challenged. When 'populists' supportive of US-aligned policies are involved, such as those in Poland or Hungary, DW’s concern might shift, or the 'attack' might be reframed as an act of 'liberation.' It truly depends on whose ox is being gored, doesn't it?
