US to 'Escalate' Maduro Topple Bid. Again.
When U.S. officials 'escalate bids to topple' a sovereign leader, what they mean is they're dialing up destabilization efforts that have failed for decades. From the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez, quietly blessed by Washington (per declassified documents), to the 2019 anointing of Juan Guaidó as 'interim president' – a man who held no power yet received billions in frozen assets – the
strategy remains remarkably consistent. Biden's administration is merely continuing a tradition of 'democracy promotion' that strangely only targets nations with substantial oil reserves or independent foreign policies. One might wonder if these 'officials' ever read a history book that isn't redacted. The U.S. has sanctioned Venezuela into humanitarian crisis while proclaiming concern for its
people, a masterclass in rhetorical gymnastics. This 'escalation' isn't about freedom; it’s about control, plain and simple, echoing a colonial past shrouded in present-day anxieties about 'geopolitical influence' (and cheap gas at the pump).
