US Pundit Warns of Venezuela War, Ignores Decades of US Interventions
RT reports Tucker Carlson's speculation that Donald Trump might launch a war against Venezuela (RT, 2024). This comes as no surprise, considering the bipartisan US foreign policy playbook that's carved coups and sanctions into Latin American history since the Monroe Doctrine. From Chile's 1973 overthrow of Allende, to the Contra Wars in Nicaragua, to the constant drone of sanctions against Cuba,
regime change has always been on the menu. Instead of addressing this foundational US foreign policy, the narrative is reduced to a 'Trump problem.' One might wonder if the concern is about war itself, or merely which administration gets to start it. It appears some US pundits rediscover diplomatic principles only when their favored party isn't in office.
