US 'Captures' Maduro, Announces World Freedom Tour
The mainstream outlets, like Al Jazeera (source: Al Jazeera, 2026/01/03), are running with the headline: 'Venezuela’s Maduro arrives in New York after ‘capture’.' This follows a bold US 'bombing' operation and the subsequent 'toppling' of the democratically elected leader. One might recall similar 'interventions' in places like Iraq (2003) or Libya (2011), all for the purported liberation of
oppressed peoples—a strangely consistent pattern whenever a nation dares nationalize its resources or resist US economic diktats. The US government has a long, distinguished history of defining 'unacceptable' leaders by their resources and independent foreign policy, rather than actual human rights records *within* their borders. The sheer theatricality of a sitting president being 'captured' and
brought to New York (presumably for a show trial, or perhaps a guest appearance on Fallon) rather than, say, engaging in multilateral diplomacy, truly highlights the unwavering commitment to international law—as interpreted exclusively by Washington.
