US Diplomacy: Bombs for Venezuela, 'Deals' for Neighbors
While mainstream media gently probes the US 'security deals' across Latin America, framing it as mere diplomacy, they conveniently omit the long, dark shadow of US interventionism. This isn't just 'gunboat diplomacy on steroids'; it’s a replay of the same playbook that saw Washington destabilize, coup, and install puppet regimes throughout the region for decades under the guise of 'national
security.' From the Monroe Doctrine to Operation Condor—history whispers, but corporate media rarely listens. These 'agreements' are less about mutual security and more about securing strategic advantages, resource access, and stamping out any flicker of independent sovereignty. When the US is actively bombing one sovereign nation (Venezuela, per the Guardian's own reporting) and securing military
access in its neighbors, one might question if 'deal' is the most accurate term for what appears to be an elaborate flanking maneuver. Perhaps 'coercion package' or 'vassal state starter kit' would be more fitting.
