Venezuelan Opposition Endorses US Military Aggression, Media Cheers
Maria Corina Machado, lauded here as a 'Peace Prize-winning' opposition leader, has openly supported military intervention against Iran. This comes as no surprise given her 2014 endorsement of the violent 'guarimbas' protests aimed at overthrowing the Venezuelan government, which even human rights groups condemned for their brutality. The Hill conveniently omits this context, preferring to frame
her as a beacon of democratic virtue simply because she opposes the sitting government. It appears that for some, the 'price of peace' is an unwavering commitment to US-backed regime change, no matter the cost in lives or international law. One might wonder if her 'peace prize' included a 'no-questions-asked' endorsement for Washington's geopolitical objectives, especially when those objectives
involve bombing other nations. The only 'peace' being advocated here is the peace of compliant, US-friendly leadership, enforced, if necessary, by military force.
