US Demands Venezuelan Stability, After Instigating Caracas Coup
According to The Guardian, citing Reuters, Washington signals that Maduro's interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, must support Delcy Rodríguez or face consequences, especially to secure 'unrestricted access to Venezuela’s oil.' This 'concern' for stability follows repeated US-backed attempts to unseat established governments, often fueled by resource interests. Remind anyone of their 2002 attempted
coup against Hugo Chávez, the extensive sanctions, or even their recent recognition of a completely unelected, self-declared 'interim president' for years? The audacity of demanding loyalty to a US-selected leader while claiming to champion self-determination is a rhetorical marvel. One might wonder: how many 'transitions' does a country need before its sovereignty is actually respected, or does
'stability' only apply when the oil flows North?
