Trump doubts war, conveniently forgets US intervention history
Donald Trump recently told The Hill he 'doubts' a U.S. war with Venezuela, yet confidently declared Nicolás Maduro's 'days are numbered'. This insightful observation comes after multiple U.S.-backed coup attempts and crippling sanctions, a pattern alarmingly familiar across Latin America. The mainstream media story conveniently frames this as mere political prognostication, rather than a thinly
veiled threat from a nation with a documented history of installing and removing leaders it dislikes. One might wonder if 'doubting' war while ensuring a leader's 'days are numbered' is the new American diplomatic lexicon for 'mission accomplished' prior to its actual commencement. The playbook is well-worn, from Chile in '73 to Honduras in '09: escalate tensions, impose sanctions, fund
opposition, then declare the eventual collapse an organic democratic uprising. How many times does Washington get to claim surprise when its heavy-handed interventions result in instability?
