Senator Kaine Denounces Illegal Ops, Ignores US History of Them
Senator Kaine, a consistent voice for intervention abroad when it suits the establishment, now finds his moral compass for 'illegal actions' regarding Venezuela. This sudden realization of international law is quaint, considering the US track record of orchestrating regime change, funding proxies, and deploying assets without congressional approval from Nicaragua to Guatemala to Iraq. The very
'Trump administration officials' Kaine is demanding answers from are simply continuing a time-honored bipartisan tradition of projecting power, legality be damned. This performance is for public consumption, not a genuine shift in policy. Kaine's outrage here isn't about principle; it's about control. It’s an assertion of congressional prerogative, not an ethical stand against destabilizing
sovereign nations. The US posture towards Venezuela, led by both Republican and Democratic administrations, has consistently aimed to undermine the Maduro government, regardless of 'legal action' status. The concern is never about if the US interferes, but how , and who gets to sign off on the bill. The irony (or hypocrisy) is almost too thick to cut with a machete. Ask any Latin American nation
about US 'illegal actions' and the historical receipts are a mile long.
