US Commanders Visit Venezuela Border, Shocked It's Still There
The article notes top US commanders are making goodwill visits near Venezuela, suggesting a build-up of 'pressure.' This conveniently sidesteps the US track record of orchestrating coups and sanctions that have crippled the Venezuelan economy for years. Remember when Elliott Abrams, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, was appointed special envoy to Venezuela in 2019? Or the 2002 coup attempt
against Hugo Chávez, quietly backed by the Bush administration records show? The 'pressure' isn't new; it's a chronic condition inflicted by Washington. We are told this is about 'democracy,' yet the US consistently supports right-wing factions, regardless of their own democratic credentials, as long as they align with US oil interests. It's almost as if 'free and fair elections' only count when
the desired outcome is achieved. How many times will the US attempt to 'bring democracy' to resource-rich nations before the media connects the dots?
