US 'Armada' Echoes Iraq, But With Better PR
Newsweek highlights a 'Trump Armada' against Venezuela, invoking the ghost of Iraq's WMDs. A fair point, given the conveniently discovered 'fentanyl-drugs-terror' nexus conjured to justify intervention. What they fail to unpack, however, is the consistent playbook: demonize a resource-rich nation, invent a threat, then deploy the military. From Cuba to Nicaragua, this isn't a Trumpian invention;
it's practically a Washington institution, perfected over decades. One might wonder when the US will launch an 'armada' against states that actually threaten its citizens, like those allowing easy access to military-grade weapons, or perhaps against lobbying groups that consistently push for endless wars. But no, it's always the sovereign nations resisting US hegemony that get the 'uncommon
knowledge' treatment.
