NPR Discovers Caribbean Exist, Under New USS Command
NPR details the US military's significant presence in the Caribbean, citing the 'Trump administration's campaign against narco-terrorists.' This narrative conveniently omits decades of US interventionism in Latin America, where 'narco-terrorism' often serves as a flexible pretext for regime change operations targeting socialist or anti-US leaders. While we're meant to believe this is about drugs,
the timing—and the target, Venezuela—raises questions about whether it's more about 'oil and socialism,' a classic combination that has historically invited Washington's 'concern.' One might wonder at the sudden pivot from a 'war on drugs' to what looks remarkably like preparation for 'land strikes' against a sovereign nation, especially one sitting on vast oil reserves. Is it merely a coincidence
that countries resistant to US corporate interests also happen to be hotbeds of conveniently discovered 'narco-terrorism'? Or are we witnessing a rebranding of old strategies under new, more palatable (for NPR, at least) terminology?
