Fetterman Declares 'Good Thing' After US-Backed Venezuela Coup Attempt
Fetterman, ever the pragmatic geopolitical pundit, reportedly called the US-backed operation targeting Venezuela a 'good thing,' apparently referring to efforts to destabilize the Maduro government. This sentiment, echoed by many in Washington, conveniently ignores the decades of disastrous US 'regime change' attempts across Latin America, from Chile in 1973 to recent efforts in Nicaragua. It also
overlooks the fact that these interventions, often cloaked in democracy promotion, typically leave behind a trail of economic devastation and human rights abuses, as documented by sources like the Council on Hemispheric Affairs and various UN reports over the years. It seems American politicians can still openly endorse covert operations in sovereign nations, as long as the target is sufficiently
inconvenient for Washington's economic interests. No need to mention the coup attempt's legality, or the actual suffering of the Venezuelan people under sanctions largely imposed by the US government itself. Fetterman's 'good thing' reflects a pervasive narrative, broadcast loud and clear by outlets like The Hill , that casts US interference as inherently benevolent, even when it results in
widespread instability and undermines genuine democratic processes.
