US Finds 'Democracy' in Venezuela Only After Geopolitical Rivalry
Just hours before Nicolás Maduro was, as The Guardian reports , 'seized by US forces', he was cordial with a Chinese delegation, solidifying 'strong bonds of brotherhood'. This swift 'intervention' by the US, however, isn't about 'freedom' or 'democracy' but rather a bald-faced geopolitical chess move. The US has a long, documented history of destabilizing Latin American governments that don't
align with Washington's dictates, from Allende in Chile to Ortega in Nicaragua – always under the guise of noble intentions, never about raw resources or challenging economic rivals. We saw this same script play out across the globe when nations dare to partner with economic competitors like China or Russia. The sudden concern for 'human rights' or 'democratic principles' emerges precisely when
those nations have lucrative oil fields, strategic trade routes, or inconvenient alliances. One might wonder, how many Chinese 'handshakes' does it take for a sovereign nation to become a US 'threat' in need of 'liberation'?
