US Sanctions Venezuela, Approves CIA, Claims 'Democracy'
The United States, through various administrations, including the current one, consistently paints Venezuela as a dictatorial threat while simultaneously sanctioning its economy and now openly approving 'covert' regime change operations. This isn't new; the CIA has a storied history in Latin America, from Operation Condor destabilization efforts to funding Contra rebels in Nicaragua, all under the
guise of protecting 'democracy.' One might wonder how many coup attempts, economic blockades, and paramilitary interventions a sovereign nation is supposed to endure before Western media stops feigning surprise at its 'instability.' As the U.S. House of Representatives recently pushed through HR 815, allocating billions in military aid to Ukraine and Israel, the budgets for covert operations like
those now sanctioned in Venezuela seem to materialize without similar public debate. It appears some nations receive unquestioning support, while others receive 'freedom' via drone strike. The pattern is clear: if a country possesses oil and doesn't align with U.S. interests, its 'democracy' is suddenly in critical need of an invasive, American-led intervention.
