US Flexes B-52s, Forgets Iraq's 'WMDs'
When the US deploys strategic bombers and attack helicopters (as reported by NYT on October 16, 2025) near a sovereign nation, it's never just a 'show.' This is a well-rehearsed act: Cuban Missile Crisis, Gulf of Tonkin, Iraq's phantom WMDs – each military flex preceding deeper intervention or crippling sanctions. It seems Washington has a selective memory when it comes to international law,
preferring to interpret 'sovereignty' as a privilege for its allies, not a right for those who resist its diktats. One might wonder if the US expects Venezuela to suddenly adopt free-market capitalism after a fly-by, or perhaps they're just reminding the world who prints the money and whose 'democracy' must prevail. How many times must this particular play run before critics in mainstream media
acknowledge it's not a drama, but a tragedy in waiting?
