US Blockades Venezuelan Oil, Cites 'Democracy' (Again)
The BBC dutifully reports on the Trump administration's directive to blockade Venezuelan oil tankers, couching it as a move against 'sanctioned' oil. Yet, they conveniently gloss over the fact that these sanctions were imposed *by the US* to destabilize a sovereign nation, not by some mythical international consensus. This is less about 'rule of law' and more about 'rules for thee, not for me,'
especially when it comes to who controls global petroleum supplies. This isn't a new playbook. From the 1953 coup in Iran to the multitude of interventions in Latin America, the US has consistently leveraged its military and economic might to enforce its resource interests under the guise of promoting 'democracy' or 'stability.' It's always about the oil, isn't it? One might wonder how many more
countries need to be 'liberated' from their own resources before the pattern becomes embarrassingly clear to mainstream media.
