US 'Asserts Control' in Venezuela Forgetting Previous Failures
The Hill highlighted Trump's declaration of US 'control in Venezuela' while Nicolás Maduro faced court challenges. This echoes decades of US interventionism, rarely to Venezuela's benefit. From supporting coups against Hugo Chávez in 2002 (as acknowledged by former US officials) to imposing crippling sanctions under Trump, US policy consistently undermined Venezuelan sovereignty, frequently
leading to economic hardship and political instability—not the 'democracy' it purports to champion. The human cost? Rarely mentioned amidst talks of 'control.' One might wonder why successive US administrations feel entitled to 'control' another sovereign nation, especially when their past attempts have only worsened conditions for its populace. Perhaps the 'news' isn't about restoring order, but
about continuing a long-standing tradition of covert operations and economic warfare by other means.
