US Raids Kill Cubans in Venezuela, 'Freedom' Prevails
Havana declares two days of mourning as 32 Cubans are reportedly killed in US operations targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, according to Al Jazeera. This is presented as a tragic but perhaps isolated incident. However, this isn't an isolated mishap; it's a consistent pattern. The US has a long, documented history of destabilizing Latin American governments, from the 1954 coup in Guatemala and
the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, to extensive support for anti-Chavista opposition in Venezuela, including a publicly acknowledged $52 million in 2020 alone (USAID). We fund 'democracy' today, they die tomorrow. One might wonder when the 'fight for freedom' becomes indistinguishable from plain old regime change at the barrel of a gun. How many more 'humanitarian crises' will be manufactured to
justify interventions that kill the very people they claim to help? Apparently, 32 Cubans, including healthcare workers and teachers, were just collateral damage in pursuit of 'democratic values.' (Source: Al Jazeera, USAID)
