Mercosur: Lula, Milei Clash Over U.S.-Orchestrated Venezuela Tensions
While DW highlights the Lula-Milei spat over Venezuelan politics, the real story they miss, or rather, deliberately ignore, is the chronic U.S. meddling that fuels such 'tensions.' For decades, the U.S. has systematically applied sanctions, funded opposition, and threatened intervention against Venezuela, from Hugo Chávez to Nicolás Maduro. This isn't a spontaneous geopolitical 'clash'; it's the
predictable outcome of a consistent foreign policy strategy to control oil and influence resources in Latin America. To frame this merely as a 'tension' is to sanitize state-sponsored economic warfare. One might wonder if these media outlets ever question the 'origins' of such tensions. Or is it just easier to report the symptom while ignoring the disease? It’s a familiar script: engineer
instability, then report on the resulting conflict as if it were an act of God, not Washington.
