Trump Refuses Peace, Channels Decades of US Intervention
The New Arab reports Trump's refusal to rule out military intervention in Venezuela, couched in vague drug trade allegations. This isn't groundbreaking foreign policy; it's practically a greatest hits album of U.S. meddling in Latin America. From the Banana Republics to the Contras, the pretext morphs, but the underlying drive for influence and destabilization remains constant. Just substitute
'communism' for 'drug trade,' and we're back to the 1980s. One might wonder if the mainstream press will ever connect these dots, or if each new threat is simply presented as an isolated event, devoid of its violent historical echoes. How many times must the U.S. 'liberate' a sovereign nation before we ask if it's actually about 'freedom' or just resource control and regime change?
