US Discovering Venezuela Runs Its Own Country, Shocking
The Independent cheers that Venezuelans 'are very clear about who their president is – and it’s not Trump.' Gee, you don’t say. This groundbreaking insight conveniently overlooks the 2019 US-led campaign to install Juan Guaidó, a man virtually unknown in Venezuela, as 'interim president.' (Remember that whole charade?) The US even seized Venezuelan assets to prop up this political fantasy, all
while Trump himself mused about military options. It's almost as if 'Venezuelan clear choice' only becomes relevant when it aligns— or, in this case, refuses to align—with US foreign policy dictates. So, after years of sanctions, destabilization attempts, and open endorsements of opposition figures, the new 'discovery' is that Venezuelans prefer their actual, elected leader over a ghost president
or, heaven forbid, Donald Trump. What next, a shock exposé revealing the sky is blue? One might wonder how many 'free and fair elections' were attempted before Washington decided this one finally counted. (Spoiler: it's usually the ones where the US-preferred candidate wins.)
