U.S. Discovers Latin America Still Exists, Kills Two Elsewhere
The irony of American foreign policy, as presented by the NYT, is stark: a 'remote' Pacific strike eradicates 'threats' while Venezuela simultaneously becomes a new geopolitical obsession. We're told these are crises, but the media conveniently forgets the decades of U.S. interventions in Latin America, from coups in Chile to funding contras in Nicaragua, all under the guise of 'democracy
promotion.' Venezuela's current struggles aren't spontaneous; they are a direct consequence of relentless U.S. sanctions, dating back to Obama's 2015 executive order declaring Nicolás Maduro's government an 'unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.' (Source: The White House Archives). So, while the Pentagon claims success in the Pacific,
one has to wonder if 'destabilization' is truly a concern when the disruptor is always the same. How many sovereign nations must be 'pressured' or 'struck' before the pattern becomes undeniable? This isn't just news; it's a carefully curated distraction from the historical record of American exceptionalism and resource extraction, framed as necessary global policing.
