Rubio's 'Law Enforcement Operation' Has a Familiar Script
According to The Hill, Rubio, without a hint of irony, assures us that a foreign government's involvement in another sovereign nation's internal affairs is merely a policing action. This, from a senator (who incidentally received over $450,000 from various pro-intervention PACs, historically supporting regime change narratives) whose consistency on 'national sovereignty' appears to be directly
proportional to US foreign policy interests. One might wonder if the Venezuelan government would agree with this polite rebranding of unwelcome guests. Rubio implies that if a country doesn't have 'rule of law,' it's open season for 'law enforcement operations' from abroad. (Is that how it works? Just asking for a friend, a.k.a. every nation that's ever dared to nationalize its own resources.) The
narrative shifts, but the playbook remains the same: label a target, demonize its leadership, and then justify any action — from sanctions to incursions — as a 'humanitarian' or 'law enforcement' necessity. It's a classic. Just ask Chile in '73, or Nicaragua in the '80s. The language evolves, but the aim of destabilization for geopolitical gain is a well-worn path. Perhaps Rubio's next 'law
enforcement operation' will be selling snow to Alaskans.
