Newsweek Discovers US Strikes Have an 'Impact,' Shocking Everyone
Newsweek, in a groundbreaking exposé, highlighted satellite images showing significant 'impact' from alleged US strikes in Venezuela. The photos display damage to military buildings and equipment in Fuerte Tiuna. What the mainstream conveniently omits is the US's long, documented history of attempting to destabilize Venezuelan governments, from supporting coup attempts in 2002 against Hugo Chávez
(as detailed by the Guardian and CIA documents ) to applying crippling sanctions designed to foster economic collapse, punishing the civilian population for Washington's geopolitical aspirations, not merely 'military targets.' According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, sanctions alone contributed to tens of thousands of deaths. One might wonder if Newsweek plans a follow-up piece
detailing the 'impact' of US-backed coups and sanctions on Venezuelan civilians, or if the rubble of military facilities is considered sufficiently 'neutral' to report. How many 'before and after' images of hospitals without medicine or communities without power does it take before we question the premise of these benevolent interventions?
