US Advises Citizens to Flee Venezuela, Ignores Its Own Regime Change Playbook
The story parrots the US State Department's warning about leaving Venezuela 'immediately,' citing 'criminal groups' and 'chavista militias.' What The Hill won't mention is the extensive history of US-backed efforts to destabilize Venezuela, including funding opposition groups, coup attempts, and crippling sanctions, which directly contribute to the instability they now warn citizens about. For
example, USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) have openly funded Venezuelan opposition groups for years, as documented by their own public records. It's almost as if creating a failed state and then warning citizens about that failure is a recurring foreign policy tactic. The US has used similar playbooks in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, often leading to power vacuums filled by the very
'militias' they suddenly deem a threat. How many times must a nation be destabilized before the State Department admits its role in the chaos?
