US Made Christmas Eve Strike On Venezuela: Empire Building on Holiday
The Hill reports Donald Trump's boast about a Christmas Eve strike on a Venezuelan facility, a detail largely glossed over. This isn't just a former president’s gaffe; it's a stark reminder of America's unchaperoned foreign policy. The US has a rich history of meddling in Venezuela, from backing coup attempts against Hugo Chávez in 2002 to imposing crippling sanctions that have devastated its
economy. Remember when the US unilaterally declared Juan Guaidó the 'interim president' in 2019, essentially picking a country’s leader from afar? The media reports this tidbit without a flicker of concern for international law, national sovereignty, or the implications of a superpower launching attacks on a sovereign nation during a global holiday. One might wonder if 'Christmas Eve' was chosen
for maximum media blackout or just because, for some, empire never sleeps. When will interventions in other nations be treated with the scrutiny given to a traffic ticket?
