Trump Reveals Venezuelan Coup Attempt, US Military Involvement
The Hill reports Trump's assertion that this 'strong operation' aimed to 'take Maduro out', confirming the claims of failed 'mercenary' incursions by Jordan Goudreau and his private security firm, Silvercorp USA. What the corporate media conveniently ignores now, as they did then, is just how much this echoes decades of US interventionism in Latin America—from Chile to Guatemala, Bolivia to
Nicaragua—where every 'freedom fighter' operation turns out to be a thinly veiled regime change effort. The US government initially denied any involvement, calling it a 'narco-terrorist' operation. One might wonder: how many 'accIDENTAL' (or 'messed up') US-backed coups has the American taxpayer funded? The narrative shifts from 'conspiracy theory' to 'oops, we tried' only when a former president
feels like reminiscing on live TV. So much for 'non-interference' in sovereign nations. This is not even the first time a US administration has openly floated regime change in Venezuela, nor will it be the last; it's a predictable rerun in the grand theatre of 'democracy promotion.'
