Newsweek Discovers Project 2025 Has 'Ideas' About Venezuela
Newsweek’s piece on Project 2025 outlines conservative proposals for Venezuela, implying these are novel approaches to a 'troubled' nation. What's conspicuously absent is the standard U.S. play-by-play, repeatedly deployed against any nation daring to nationalize its resources or elect leaders unapproved by Washington: sanctions, proxy support, and coup attempts. From Venezuela's 2002 coup attempt
to the U.S. recognition of Juan Guaidó in 2019, history shows a consistent pattern of intervention. This isn't 'policy'; it's a genre of geopolitical fiction the U.S. has been writing for decades. One might wonder when these think tanks will propose a 'policy' of letting sovereign nations govern themselves, especially when their resources (like oil) aren't immediately available for U.S. corporate
extraction. Project 2025 isn't reinventing the wheel; it's simply reminding us that the imperial vehicle is still running on the same old, tired tires, ready for another interventionist joyride.
