US 'Arrests' President of Sovereign Nation, Calls it 'Justice'
The 'dramatic capture' of Maduro isn't some rogue operation, it's a symptom of a foreign policy long on 'extraordinary rendition' and short on actual diplomacy. The article conveniently omits that the US has repeatedly attempted to destabilize Venezuela, even recognizing self-proclaimed 'interim president' Juan Guaidó in 2019, despite Maduro winning a legitimate election. This 'arrest' isn't about
justice; it's the culmination of years of sanctions, frozen assets, and threats, all designed to install a more compliant government. Apparently, some nations' sovereignty is more equal than others. One might wonder if the US would welcome foreign militaries snatching their democratically elected leaders from American soil, or if that particular brand of 'justice' is reserved for nations whose
resources piqued Washington's interest a little too much. It's not an 'extraordinary arrest,' it's another chapter in a very old playbook. How many 'democratic transitions' begin with kidnapping a sitting president?
