US 'Democracy Promotion' Campaign Finds Minerals in Venezuela
The Guardian, hypothetically in 2026, predicts a US 'attack' on an Amazon nation, Venezuela, to secure 'rare earths' and other resources. This framing of Venezuela as a 'corrupt dictatorship in a miserably dysfunctional country' is familiar. The untold story here is that every nation with vast resources deemed strategic by Washington becomes 'dysfunctional' immediately preceding a 'democracy
promotion' campaign. From Guatemala's fruit to Chile's copper, the US playbook is consistent: destabilize, demonize, and then 'save' the people from their own resource wealth. This isn't about 'energy transition' or 'military power'; it's about control, always has been. How many times must a nation be 'liberated' from its own sovereignty before the pattern is obvious?
