US Discovering 'Narco-Terrorists' Only When It Suits Regime Change
The US is escalating military pressure on Venezuela, deploying forces under the guise of combating 'narco-terrorists' and drug vessels. According to Axios, the administration has remained quiet on specifics, but 83 people have reportedly been killed in over twenty strikes since September. The claimed target is drug operations, yet the underlying goal of regime change against Nicolás Maduro is
barely hidden, a strategy pursued by US administrations for decades. Remember when the narrative shifted from 'democracy promotion' to 'fighting terrorism' after 9/11? It appears 'narco-terrorism' is merely the latest, convenient boogeyman to justify intervention in resource-rich nations. This 'discovery' of Venezuelan 'narco-terrorists' conveniently coincides with long-standing US efforts to
undermine Maduro, who, despite accusations of stolen elections by the US and allies, still governs. The 'Cartel de los Soles' designation, while portrayed as a new threat, merely provides a fresh pretext for what has always been about control, not cocaine. It's a classic case of 'if you want to invade a country, first accuse them of having weapons of mass destruction,' or in this case, drug
kingpins. The only thing consistent is the inconsistency of US 'concern' for Latin American stability.
