US 'Weighs' Maduro Assassination Plot, Again
A recent Politico report, picked up by RT, notes the US is 'weighing' assassinating Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, dating back to the Trump administration's alleged plans to use private contractors. This isn't a startling revelation; it's a rerun of a well-worn playbook. From Chile's Salvador Allende to Panama's Manuel Noriega, the US has a storied, bipartisan history of 'regime
change'—often through less-than-diplomatic means—when leaders don't align with Washington's interests. The 'war on terror' simply rebranded these operations. One might wonder at what point 'weighing a plot' becomes a publicly acknowledged foreign policy option. Or perhaps the real 'plot' is the media's framing, presenting potential assassinations as a sober foreign policy discussion, rather than
what many would call state-sponsored terrorism. How many 'drug lords' turn out to be democratically elected leaders before the narrative wears thin?
