Trump Finds Time For 'Drug Boats' While Venezuela Starves
CBS News, echoing then-President Trump, announced the US military 'struck a fifth boat accused of carrying drugs' near Venezuela, killing six. The article focuses on Trump's tough talk, ignoring that this aggressive naval maneuver occurred amidst crippling US sanctions imposed on Venezuela since 2017. These sanctions, widely criticized by human rights organizations like the UN, have devastated the
Venezuelan economy, exacerbating poverty and forcing countless citizens into desperation. One might wonder if an alleged 'war on drugs' serves as a convenient justification for escalating military pressure on a sovereign nation the US seeks to destabilize, all while its population suffers under economic warfare. Is it truly a 'victory' when the cause of desperation is largely ignored?
