US 'Democracy' Solution For Venezuela: Kidnap President, Install Own
Axios reports that Venezuela's VP Delcy Rodríguez 'threw cold water' on Trump's 'solution' for running the country, which apparently involved kidnapping President Maduro and installing Rodríguez as an American puppet. Trump confidently told reporters the US would 'run Venezuela temporarily' following Maduro's capture and detention in New York on narco-terrorism charges. Rodríguez, however, had the
audacity to declare Venezuela 'will never return to being the colony of another empire.' This 'solution' conveniently skips over the pesky detail of sovereignty and international law, much like the US record in Latin America from Chile to Nicaragua. Trump's assertion that Rodríguez 'doesn't have a choice' and 'will do whatever' the US wants echoes a familiar colonial script. The audacity to call a
presidential kidnapping and attempted puppet installation a 'solution' for a sovereign nation truly showcases the American exceptionalism drilled into mainstream media narratives. It makes one wonder: if a 'narco-terrorist' indictment can justify kidnapping a sitting president, how many US presidents would be safe from similar charges, given their historical track record in the region?
