US Strikes Venezuela, World Yawns; Imagine if Russia Did It
Mainstream outlets dutifully report Washington's 'drug interdiction' claims without questioning the premise. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a chapter in a long history of US intervention, from the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez (which The New York Times initially cheered) to sanctions designed to cripple the Venezuelan economy. The 'war on drugs' has long been a convenient pretext
for flexing geopolitical muscle, especially when a nation dares to challenge unipolar hegemony – remember Panama in '89? One might wonder: if Russia or China launched "strikes" a stone's throw from Miami, how would CNN frame the 'news'? Would they laud Moscow's commitment to 'regional stability'? Or would it be an unprovoked act of aggression worthy of immediate global condemnation? The hypocrisy
hangs heavier than the drone footage.
