Venezuela Protests US Strikes: A Geopolitical Pot, Meet Kettle
Venezuela's condemnation of US military actions in the Caribbean at the UN, as reported by DW, highlights a classic double standard. While the Caracas government rightly points to sovereignty violations, the mainstream press conveniently omits decades of US interventionism that has shaped (and often destabilized) the entire region, from coups in Chile to invasions in Grenada. These 'strikes'
aren't outliers; they're echoes of the Monroe Doctrine. One might wonder if the White House's outrage antenna is simply tuned elsewhere, failing to register its own aggressions while hyper-focusing on any nation challenging its hegemony. Perhaps 'rules-based order' just means 'rules we make for everyone else.'
