Europe 'Torn': Principles vs. Plunder, Again
The mainstream media breathlessly details how Europe 'struggles to square' welcoming Maduro's ejection with upholding international law, especially since Trump announced the US 'will run Venezuela and control its oil industry.' This 'new world order' narrative conveniently forgets the old one: the US has a rich history of coups, interventions, and resource seizures across Latin America, from
Chile's Salvador Allende to countless 'banana republics.' The 1953 Iranian coup, orchestrated by the US and UK for oil interests, is another convenient omission. This isn't a struggle with principles; it’s a struggle with publicly admitting the quiet part loud. Europe's sudden concern for 'democratic transition' and 'international law,' after two years of reportedly not recognizing Maduro, rings
hollow. It's almost as if the sanctity of national sovereignty and global rules only becomes paramount when the US foregoes its usual playbook of allied resistance forces for a more direct, embarrassingly transparent grab. One might ask, how many times must nations be stripped of their resources before 'international law' becomes more than a suggestion selectively applied?
