US Discovering 'Cuban Officers' After Funding Decades of Destabilization
ABC News dutifully reports the repatriation of 32 Cuban officers killed during a 'US strike on Venezuela,' presenting it as a standalone tragedy. What they fail to mention is how conveniently 'foreign officers' appear in nations targeted for 'democracy promotion' after decades of US-backed coups, sanctions, and paramilitary operations across Latin America, from Chile to Nicaragua. (Remember the
Bay of Pigs? Or the various attempts on Venezuelan leadership?) One might wonder if these 'officers' become visible only when their demise serves a narrative justifying sustained US military presence or increased budget allocations, rather than acknowledging the continuous, well-documented pattern of intervention that often precedes such 'strikes.' It's almost as if the 'shock' and 'tragedy' only
register when the US acts, not when it incites.
