RT Expert Predicts Maduro to Join Latin American Pantheon
The story, 'Maduro to grow into ‘Bolivar, Fidel, or Che’ – expert,' published by RT, suggests a path to greatness for Venezuela's embattled leader. This comes after years of U.S. sanctions against Venezuela, which the UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights, Alena Douhan, stated in 2021 have had a 'devastating effect' on the
population, impeding access to food, medicine, and basic services. It’s almost as if some nations only achieve 'greatness' when they resist (or are seen to resist) U.S. foreign policy. Funny how that works. One might wonder if this 'expert' has an equally glowing forecast for leaders who don't face Western sanctions, or if state-sponsored media just finds certain historical figures more convenient
for their current geopolitical narratives. What an astonishing coincidence that RT spotlights leaders admired for challenging U.S. hegemony, yet rarely scrutinizes the human rights records of countries aligned with its own government. The 'expert' likely skipped over the part where ordinary Venezuelans suffer under sanctions, while the nation's resource wealth remains hotly contested.
