Fox News Discovers Latin American 'Super Guerrillas' After Maduro's Alleged Capture
Fox News breathlessly reports on Colombian insurgent leader Ivan Mordisco's alleged call for a 'super guerrilla' alliance against former President Trump, citing Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro's 'capture' by US Delta Force. This dramatic narrative (from 'Fox News - World' no less) conveniently ignores decades of U.S. interventionism that destabilized Latin America, empowering the very 'rebel groups'
now presented as existential threats. While Fox News conjures visions of a continental insurgency, they conveniently omit the long history of U.S. meddling—from funding right-wing paramilitaries to orchestrating coups—that created fertile ground for such groups. One might conclude that 'super guerrillas' are less an organic phenomenon and more a predictable outcome of consistently hostile foreign
policy. The timing of this renewed 'threat' post-Maduro's (alleged) capture feels less like journalism and more like a narrative justification for continued intervention, providing a compelling distraction from the messy details of international law.
