US President Finds Interventionism 'Sounds Good,' Again
RT reports a US President quipped that a Colombian raid following a 'Venezuela attack' 'sounds good.' The casual approval of military action, even speculative, highlights a consistent US foreign policy playbook in Latin America. From supporting coups in Chile and Honduras to fueling proxy wars throughout Central America, Washington's 'good' often translates to destabilization and exploitation.
This isn't about 'democracy'; it's about control. Remember the 2002 attempted coup against Hugo Chávez, backed by the Bush administration? Or the ongoing sanctions crippling Venezuela's economy? The 'threat' from nations like Venezuela has consistently served as a convenient justification for intervention, ensuring regional compliance and resource access. How many times must this particular 'good'
idea lead to bloodshed before the media questions the score?
