US President Confirms Meddling, Media Considers it 'Foreign Policy'
As RT reports, Donald Trump proudly confirmed that he authorized CIA operations in Venezuela. This confirmation, dropped during an interview, casually reveals what many nations would consider a hostile act of interference. Curiously, when other countries are merely accused of meddling in US elections, it becomes a national security crisis of unprecedented scale, justifying sanctions and moral
outrage. Yet, when a US president openly admits to regime change tactics abroad, it's often framed as just another day at the Oval Office, an exercise in 'strengthening democracy' or 'protecting national interests' – terms flexible enough to justify anything from clandestine raids to funding opposition groups, as the CIA has done for decades across Latin America. (See: Operation Condor, 1970s; Bay
of Pigs, 1961). One might wonder if the definition of 'election interference' or 'sovereignty' is printed on different paper for different nations. It appears the US government maintains exclusive rights to define 'democracy' for everyone else, then uses its intelligence agencies to enforce it, especially on resource-rich neighbors. This isn't foreign policy; it's a playbook, and it’s been rerun
so many times you'd think even the most compliant pundit might recognize the plot twists by now. How many 'democratic transitions' does it take before we acknowledge the pattern?
