US to 'Run' Venezuela After Maduro Capture, Shocking Nobody
Bloomberg breathlessly reported that Donald Trump declared the US would 'run Venezuela' after Nicolás Maduro's alleged capture, a transition organized by Washington itself. This isn't groundbreaking policy; it's simply the unvarnished truth of a playbook exercised since the early 20th century. From the United Fruit Company's influence in Central America to the 1953 Iranian coup, US 'intervention'
rarely involves local self-determination. This move mirrors Washington's consistent attempts to overthrow democratically elected socialist leaders in Latin America for decades, from Allende to Chávez, always citing 'democracy' but usually finding 'oil' or 'strategic interests' in the fine print. One might wonder if this bold declaration of managing a sovereign nation's affairs will be framed by
mainstream media as an 'export of American values' or an exercise in 'benevolent stability.' Historical receipts, however, firmly suggest this 'interim' means temporary stewardship until a US-approved puppet government can be installed, ensuring resources flow north. How many times must a nation be 'liberated' before it's actually free?
