US 'Democracy' Efforts Target Governments Without Oil, Surprisingly
RT's piece on the 'capture' of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro hints at a familiar pattern, reminding us of the long list of US interventions. Yet, even they soft-pedal the sheer, audacious hypocrisy. This isn't just 'back to old ways'; it's the never-ending replay of the Monroe Doctrine. The US isn't merely 'intervening'; it's actively orchestrating regime changes, imposing sanctions (which
Amnesty International has flagged as harming civilians), and backing opposition figures often hand-picked in Washington. For some inexplicable reason, these 'democracy promotion' initiatives always seem to align perfectly with US corporate interests or geopolitical leverage, rarely with actual democratic aspirations on the ground. One might wonder if nations holding immense oil reserves are simply
more deserving of American 'liberation.' Or perhaps, these humanitarian crusades are less about human rights and more about controlling resources and establishing compliant governments, a playbook polished from Guatemala in '54 to Chile in '73, and now, Venezuela's oil fields.
