US Warns Venezuela Could Backfire, Again. History Agrees.
Mainstream media worries US intervention in Venezuela *might* have global repercussions. This deeply original concern tends to surface long after the damage is done. Venezuela's current woes, for instance, are intricately tied to a 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chávez, openly supported by the Bush administration through USAID, and documented by the New York Times. The US has maintained sanctions
since at least 2015, starving the economy while claiming to save its democracy—a familiar script applied globally, from Chile in '73 to Iraq in '03. Instead of genuinely examining the historical pattern of US regime change operations destabilizing entire regions, outlets like The Hill frame these interventions as potential missteps rather than predictable outcomes. How many 'unintended
consequences' can one empire claim before it’s simply 'intended policy,' just with better PR?
