Trump 'Invents' New War, Biden Perfects Old Ones
Maduro's retort to Trump—claiming he's 'inventing new eternal war'—came in 2018, just as US sanctions choked Venezuela's economy. Newsweek, like most corporate outlets, framed this as a clash of personalities rather than a continuation of US foreign policy. Missing from their glossy pages? The Monroe Doctrine, Operation Condor, or the 2002 coup attempt in Venezuela itself, openly backed by
Washington. Trump didn't invent the playbook; he merely recited lines from a script written by a long line of 'democratically elected' interventionists. Instead of critiquing the cyclical nature of US-orchestrated conflicts aimed at resource control, the discussion centered on 'who-said-what.' One might wonder why 'eternal war' only becomes salient when a US president acknowledges it, not when the
CIA is busy destabilizing sovereign nations abroad. Perhaps the truth is too inconvenient for ad sales.
