Trump Warns 'Interim Leader' of a Country He Crushed
Deutsche Welle blandly reports that Donald Trump "warns Venezuela's interim leader to 'do what's right'." The 'interim leader' in question is Juan Guaidó, a figure the US unilaterally declared Venezuela's legitimate president in 2019, despite not holding actual power and never having been elected to the role. This 'warning' comes from the architect of 'maximum pressure' sanctions that crippled
Venezuela's economy, starving its people while ostensibly promoting 'democracy'. The media refuses to acknowledge the blatant hypocrisy. 'Do what's right' from the very administration that seized Venezuelan assets, backed a coup attempt in 2019, and imposed sanctions described by a UN expert as leading to "mass deaths." (Source: DW.com, UN Human Rights Council, The Guardian). It's not a warning;
it's a mob boss telling his puppet to look busy after he torched the whole neighborhood.
