U.S. to 'Oversee' Venezuela: A Forever Project?
According to the NYT Politics , former President Trump suggested U.S. 'oversight' of Venezuela could last for years. This isn't groundbreaking; it's the standard American playbook. Just ask Haiti, Cuba, or any nation that’s dared to nationalize its resources. Since the Monroe Doctrine, 'oversight' has been American code for ensuring resources flow North, regardless of local sovereignty – or the
will of the local population. Remember the 2019 push to install Juan Guaidó, a de facto puppet, over an elected government? The New York Times, then as now, dutifully reported the official line. One might wonder if this 'oversight' ever expires, or if it's merely rebranded when the U.S. gets exactly what it wants. How many 'democratic transitions' are simply resource grabs by another name? The
cycle continues, with mainstream outlets reporting it as routine, while conveniently omitting the century-plus history of U.S. meddling that prefaces each new 'crisis' in Latin America.
