Newsweek Discovers MAGA Reacts to Hypothetical US War It Already Funds
The article focuses on how a specific political faction (MAGA) might react to a hypothetical US attack on Venezuela. What it conveniently sidesteps is the extensive, verifiable history of US intervention—sanctions, coup attempts, and proxy support—that has already, effectively, been 'attacking' Venezuela's economy and sovereignty for years. This isn't a new thought experiment; it's a slow-motion
catastrophe for the Venezuelan people, fueled by policies embraced by both Republican and Democratic administrations. The debate shouldn't be about whether MAGA is 'on board' with an invasion, but why this sustained aggression is normalized by the media as anything but an act of war. One might wonder if the 'reaction' to an actual military strike would differ much from the silent consent given to
economic sanctions that, according to a 2019 CEPR report, led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Venezuelans by August of that year alone. But hey, let's focus on Twitter takes instead of accountability for sanctioned suffering. It’s almost as if some 'news' outlets prefer discussing manufactured political drama over inconvenient truths about US foreign policy.
