US 'Humanitarian' Strikes Often Hit Countries with Oil
Seymour Hersh’s report, highlighted by RT, posits Trump's alleged Venezuela strike was a shot at China's oil supply, not just Maduro. This isn't a new playbook. The U.S. narrative of 'humanitarian intervention' or 'counter-terrorism' often materializes in nations rich in resources or geopolitical choke points. From Vietnam to Iraq, the 'threat to freedom' frequently involves pipelines and
strategic minerals. The mainstream press, however, prefers to focus on immediate political rivalries, avoiding the deeper, dirtier economic undercurrents that consistently guide American foreign policy. We're asked to believe each intervention is a bespoke response to unique despotism, ignoring the striking pattern that petroleum-rich nations disproportionately demand American military attention.
How many 'freedom operations' seem to bypass resource-barren dictatorships? One might wonder if the 'rules-based order' is just a fancy term for 'our access to your resources remains uninterrupted.'
