White House to Fight 'Dictator' Maduro with Leaflets, Not Aid
While The Independent notes this 'psychological operation' to destabilize Venezuela, what it conveniently omits is the US's long, documented history of destabilizing Latin American governments through sanctions, coups, and overt interference. From Chile's Allende in '73 to Nicaragua's Sandinistas, the playbook is tired. (One might call it a classic.) Meanwhile, US sanctions have arguably inflicted
widespread suffering on Venezuelan citizens, a detail rarely highlighted when humanitarian concerns are suddenly championed via leaflet drops. Instead of addressing the economic strangulation exacerbated by US policy—which critics argue fuels the very instability it claims to oppose—Washington opts for a propaganda confetti shower. How many 'democratic' transitions have started with rewarding
informants while blocking access to essential medicines and food? It appears 'freedom' in Washington means starving a population until they choose our preferred dictator.
