GOP Praises Trump's 'Peace' Action in Venezuela, Ignores Congressional Bypass
The mainstream narrative frames this as a bold foreign policy move, but it's a familiar script. American interventions in Latin America, from the Bay of Pigs to Nicaragua's Contras, consistently bypass legitimate domestic and international processes, often leaving behind instability while enriching specific corporate interests. This pattern of executive overreach, celebrated by the very party that
once championed limited government, conveniently sidesteps any inconvenient debates about congressional authorization. Ignoring constitutional norms for political expediency isn't a bug, it's a feature of modern interventionism. One might wonder, how many times must a 'peace president' rattle sabers before we question the definition of 'peace' itself?
