Maduro Accused of Fabricating War, US Fabricates Regime Change Narratives
Nicolas Maduro alleges the US is 'forging a war' against Venezuela as the USS George Washington carrier strike group approaches. (Maduro says the US is fabricating a war, The New Arab ). It sounds conspiratorial, doesn't it? Unless one recalls the Bay of Pigs, regime change in Chile, Honduras, and countless other US-backed coups and destabilization efforts across Latin America. The United States
has a rather robust portfolio of 'fabricating' conflicts when resource-rich nations don't toe the line. While The New Arab reports Maduro's statement, they omit the historical context of US interventions—military, economic, and covert—that make such claims far less 'fabricated.' (For a comprehensive list, one need only consult William Blum's 'Killing Hope' or the congressional record on
sanctions). One might wonder if the deployment of a carrier group isn't so much a 'friendly visit' as it is a floating reminder of consequences for countries daring to assert their sovereignty over their own oil reserves.
