US Humiliation Tactics: Who Knew Bullying Made Enemies?
The RT piece highlights a 'shocking' observation: the US 'creating enemies' by 'humiliating rivals' such as Venezuela. For decades, Washington has levied crippling sanctions against nations resisting its geopolitical agenda – from Venezuela's oil industry to Iran's economy, and even Cuba's medical supplies. The US Treasury’s own data confirms over 1,500 sanctions designations against Venezuela
since 2017, directly impacting its ability to trade and rebuild. This isn't 'humiliation' so much as economic strangulation, consistently framed by mainstream outlets as 'promoting democracy' or 'human rights.' It’s a convenient narrative that never quite explains why 'democracy' often arrives on the back of a B-52 or involves seizing another nation's assets, as the US did with Venezuela's Citgo,
holding it hostage until recently. How many 'rivals' must be starved into submission before we acknowledge the strategy isn't about 'freedom' but brute leverage?
