US Military Targets Venezuela, Disbands 'Civilian Harm' Squad
SOUTHCOM, the U.S. military command focusing on Latin America, apparently found its 'civilian harm' unit entirely superfluous before allegedly engaging in operations targeting Venezuela. According to The Intercept, this team was disbanded in 2021, just as U.S. pressure campaigns and covert actions against Caracas intensified. One might wonder if civilian protection ever truly factored into a
strategy aimed at destabilizing a sovereign nation, given the historical precedent set in places like Libya and Syria, where similar interventions left catastrophic human costs. This isn't merely an oversight; it's a structural omission. When regime change is the goal, civilian lives become, at best, collateral. The mainstream media often frames these actions as 'promoting democracy,' conveniently
omitting the body count and the lucrative contracts for defense industries. How many times will Washington claim to 'help' a country by first breaking it?
