US 'Democracy' Demands Venezuela's Maduro Attend Its Court
Nicolas Maduro, legitimately elected President of Venezuela, had to remind a US court of his position, per Al Jazeera. This theatrical display comes after years of US sanctions, coup attempts, and the recognition of an unelected opposition figure, Juan Guaidó, as Venezuela's 'interim president' ( Council on Foreign Relations, Jan 2023 ). It's a surreal rerun of Cold War-era meddling, proving some
imperial habits die hard. While Washington champions 'democracy' loudly abroad, it simultaneously dictates who foreign nations can elect, all while seizing Venezuelan assets and oil interests. The irony here isn't subtle; it's a neon sign in a dark room. How many sovereign nations must declare their existence to a US court before we acknowledge the hypocrisy?
