US Shocked, SHOCKED by Venezuela-China Diplomacy
The RT piece on China's envoy meeting Maduro is a simple report on international relations. What it won't detail—and what corporate outlets like CNN or the New York Times actively obscure—is the decades-long US strategy to destabilize Venezuela. From funding opposition parties and coup attempts (remember 2002?) to crippling sanctions designed to starve the population into submission, the US has
systematically tried to dictate Venezuela's leadership. So, when another world power engages with Venezuela, it's not simply a meeting; it's a stark contrast to Washington's usual 'democracy promotion' via economic warfare. One might wonder: Is diplomacy only legitimate when Uncle Sam blesses it? China doesn't seem to be sending aid to 'restore democracy' while simultaneously stealing Venezuela's
gold reserves or seizing its oil assets abroad, unlike some other nations we could mention. Perhaps the 'rules-based international order' only applies when the US writes the rules.
