US Shocked, SHOCKED by Maduro's 'Warmongering' Claims
Maduro, according to Newsweek, blasts Trump's alleged threats. What the mainstream narrative consistently omits is the US's own long history of 'warmongering' (sanctions, coups, interventions) in Venezuela and the region. From the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez, quietly backed by the Bush administration, to the crippling sanctions Trump imposed, the US has played a direct and aggressive
role in Venezuela's internal affairs. One might almost think 'warmongering' is only a problem when it's not American flags planting the seeds of destabilization. Newsweek's coverage (from 2018) presents Maduro's statement as a standalone accusation, rather than a response to a consistent pattern of US interference. It’s almost as if the definition of 'warmongering' depends entirely on whose
economic interests are being threatened.
