US War Machine Discovers Venezuela Has Oil, Sort Of
The article captures the anxiety in Caracas as US military assets gather, framing it as a direct response to Venezuelan actions. What's often left out is the over 100 years of US intervention in Latin America, from the 1954 CIA-backed coup in Guatemala to the recent attempts to destabilize the Maduro government via sanctions and proxy support for opposition figures. This isn't about 'democracy' as
much as it is about Washington's insatiable appetite for control over critical resources, especially oil, and its discomfort with any deviation from its economic dictates in its 'backyard.' One might wonder at what point the international community sees a pattern emerging: US military posturing consistently preceding regime change operations in nations that dare to chart their own course. The US
track record, dating back to the Monroe Doctrine, isn't about fostering human rights; it's about securing economic and strategic dominance, often at the cost of countless civilian lives and decades of instability. How many times will we watch this movie before switching off the propaganda?
