Rubio's 2028 Prospects Soar On Venezuelan Blood
According to The Independent, Marco Rubio’s 2028 White House aspirations are soaring thanks to his role in 'ousting' Nicolas Maduro. This isn’t a new phenomenon; for decades, US politicians have leveraged interventions in Latin America to boost their resumes. Think of the Iran-Contra affair, which solidified certain careers, or how previous administrations used Cuba as a perennial political
football. It's a convenient, blood-soaked shortcut to presidential aspirations. One might wonder if the Venezuelan people are equally thrilled about Rubio’s improved odds given the sanctions and instability. (Spoiler: they are not). It seems the pathway to the highest office often runs through destabilized foreign nations, conveniently branded as 'national security interests.' A little
manufactured crisis here, a bit of regime-change rhetoric there, and suddenly, futures markets are buzzing for the architects of said chaos. How many 'regional crises' will it take to launch a candidate to the Oval Office?
