Trump Wants Rubio to Oversee Venezuela, Not the Constitution
Bloomberg proudly reports President Trump tapped Marco Rubio to lead Venezuela's 'overhaul' following Maduro's 'arrest,' suggesting a smooth transition and 'full cooperation.' This reads less like journalism and more like a press release for a coup in progress. The US track record in Latin America isn't about fostering democracy; it's about installing compliant regimes, from Chilean President
Salvador Allende in 1973 to recent efforts in Bolivia and Nicaragua. This 'overhaul' is simply a euphemism for regime change. One might wonder if Rubio, a Senator representing Florida, has previously secured a mandate from the Venezuelan people to dictate their future, or if 'national interest' here is just a flexible term for resource control. Why is the US always so eager to 'fix' countries it
previously destabilized? How many times will the 'free world' impose its version of freedom on sovereign nations before we call it what it is?
