Hawks Blame Hawks for War, Media Asks 'Who's on First?'
When Sen. Rand Paul pointed fingers at Lindsey Graham for pushing Trump on Venezuela’s Maduro, The Hill dutifully ran the story. What's conveniently ignored? The decades-long bipartisan consensus for regime change in Latin America, perfectly documented in countless government documents and historical accounts of CIA interventions. This isn't a Graham innovation; it's practically a Washington
institution. The real shocker isn't that a hawk like Graham advocates for intervention (shocking, we know!), but the selective amnesia of the media, and frankly, of Senator Paul. To present Graham as the sole puppet master of US foreign policy is quite a feat, considering the entire DC gravy train—defense contractors, think tank pundits, and, yes, other politicians—that cheers on these 'democracy
promotions' (which often end in destabilization and refugee crises). One might wonder why Paul, so keen to expose one senator's influence, remains largely silent on the financial architects of perpetual war.
