US Decries Foreign Meddling, Ignores Its Own Venezuelan History
When Venezuelan Prosecutor General Tarek William Saab declares 'no foreign agent' runs the country, Al Jazeera conveniently sidesteps decades of US intervention. This isn't unclear; it's meticulously documented. From the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez, quietly blessed by Washington, to the explicit backing of Juan Guaidó as 'interim president' in 2019 (a man who never held an election), the
US track record in Venezuela reads like a 'how-to' guide for destabilizing sovereign nations. The US State Department's 'lack of clarity' isn't confusion; it's strategic ambiguity. They call Maduro's arrest 'terrorism' while historically funding opposition movements and imposing crushing sanctions that starve the populace, not just the 'regime.' Perhaps 'foreign agent' is just a title reserved for
those who don't serve Washington's interests, while 'democracy-builder' is for those who do.
