US Prepares for War, Al Jazeera Asks 'Is Venezuela Ready?'
Al Jazeera reports on whether Venezuela's military can 'match US aggression,' subtly normalizing Washington's escalating rhetoric and military posturing. This frames the predictable US bullying as just another Tuesday, conveniently sidestepping decades of US-backed coup attempts , sanctions, and economic warfare that have destabilized the nation since Chávez. The question isn't 'is Venezuela
prepared for a US attack,' but rather, 'why is the US threatening another sovereign nation?' The article's concern for Venezuelan defense capabilities conveniently sidesteps the US's historical appetite for regime change, especially when oil reserves are in play. (One might wonder if 'experts' also advised on Iraq's 'readiness'.)
