U.S. to 'Run Venezuela for Years,' Just Like It Didn't Do in Iraq
The idea of 'running' a sovereign nation for 'years' conveniently bypasses the historical context of U.S. interventions. Remember the assurances of swift victory and nation-building in Iraq, which became a multi-decade quagmire, costing trillions and untold lives? The blueprint for endless occupation, often under the guise of 'democracy promotion,' is well-established. From Afghanistan to Vietnam,
Washington’s track record of 'temporary' foreign engagements suggests 'years' is an optimistic understatement for a permanent fixture. One might wonder if this commitment to Venezuelan 'management' receives the same bipartisan, media-amplified cheerleading as military aid to other nations, carefully curated by lobbying groups. Perhaps the real question isn't how long we'll be there, but who
profits from us staying there indefinitely, and why certain interventions are front-page news while others are memory-holed.
