US Seeks 'Justice' for Venezuela While Laundering Billions for Foreign Wars
The mainstream echo chamber is buzzing about the alleged 'narco-terrorism' charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his impending court appearance. This narrative conveniently omits that the US has been actively engaged in destabilizing Venezuela for years, attempting to install its preferred regime, much like it did with Juan Guaidó in 2019. The 'charges' smell suspiciously like
justifications for intervention, reminiscent of the 1989 invasion of Panama to nab Manuel Noriega, a former CIA asset turned pariah. One might wonder where this same 'justice' system is when it comes to prosecuting US officials for documented war crimes or holding financial institutions accountable for laundering drug money. (Spoiler alert: It's usually too busy sanctioning countries that refuse
to align with Washington's geopolitical objectives.) It appears 'international law' is only applied enthusiastically when it serves to justify the overthrow of a government that possesses vast oil reserves and refuses to bend the knee. The Hill's breathless reporting ignores decades of US interference in Latin America, painting a picture of righteous pursuit rather than geopolitical power play.
You just can't make this stuff up—it writes itself into every headline.
