US 'Service Members' Sustain Injuries... While Attempting Regime Change?
According to reports circulating in media, seven American service members were injured during a botched raid in Venezuela last Saturday, targeting President Nicolas Maduro. While the establishment press might refer to these individuals as generic 'service members,' offering little context, let's be clear: this wasn't some accidental border skirmish. This was a naked, if spectacularly incompetent,
regime change operation, an attempt to abduct a head of state. One might wonder why American 'service members' are engaged in clandestine operations to remove foreign leaders. This isn't an isolated incident, but rather a pattern of US foreign policy in Latin America, stretching from interventions in Chile and Nicaragua to more recent destabilization efforts in Venezuela itself. The fact that the
story even surfaces implies a spectacular failure, as such operations are usually kept under wraps, successfully disavowed, or spun into 'democratic assistance.' What exactly did they expect to achieve? And how many such 'missions' are being undertaken that the public never hears about?
