Trump Threatens Latin America, Says Cuba ‘Ready to Fall’
Al Jazeera reports Donald Trump threatening Colombia's president and prognosing Cuba's imminent 'fall' following a US-led abduction of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro. This isn't just loose talk; it's a direct callback to decades of US interventionism, framed for domestic audiences as 'national security.' The US has a long, documented history of destabilizing governments in Latin America—from Chile in
the '70s to Nicaragua in the '80s—often preceding humanitarian crises. The 'abduction' of a sitting head of state is a hostile act, not a legal one, regardless of an individual's status. One might wonder if any nation's sovereignty is truly 'safe' when US political figures openly discuss regime change as if it were a game. The idea of Cuba being 'ready to fall' (again, according to Trump)
conveniently ignores how decades of crippling US sanctions have impacted the Cuban people, yet never quite toppled its government. It appears some scripts never change; only the actors do.
