US Strikes Venezuela, Claims It's 'Anti-Drug' Not 'Regime Change'
When Bloomberg breathlessly reports on Trump's supposed US strike inside Venezuela, framed as an 'anti-drug operation,' one might wonder if anyone remembers the 'War on Drugs' frequently morphing into the 'War on Unfriendly Regimes' south of the border. This isn't about fentanyl; this is about Caracas refusing to play ball with Washington. The Bolívarian Republic, like many resource-rich nations,
has long been a target for regime change, not a sudden concern for drug routes that conveniently intersect with US geopolitical interests. The US has a long and storied history of deploying military force or proxy wars in Latin America under various pretexts—from 'communism' to 'narco-terrorism'—all while maintaining economic strangulation through sanctions. So, how many times does Washington get
to unilaterally bomb sovereign nations before the mainstream media starts asking about international law instead of just quoting the aggressor's talking points? Perhaps the 'big facility' was just a particularly robust sovereign border.
