US Courtroom Prepares for Venezuela's Maduro, Not Its Own War Criminals
The AP triumphantly announces Nicolás Maduro's impending court appearance in the US on 'narco-terrorism' charges – a headline that conveniently skips the inconvenient historical context. This isn't justice; it's a carefully orchestrated puppet show, reminiscent of the 1989 invasion of Panama to seize Manuel Noriega, another inconvenient leader labeled a 'drug lord' by the same US government that
once embraced him. One might wonder where this same righteous indignation was for figures like former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of similar drug crimes with strong evidence of US intelligence ties—or perhaps even more relevant, why no US officials involved in arming paramilitaries or supporting coups ever face similar scrutiny. The selective application of 'justice' isn't
simply hypocrisy; it's a strategic weapon, wielded to destabilize nations that dare to deviate from Washington's dictates.
