The United States has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flown him out of the country in a stunning military operation that plucked a sitting leader from office following months of escalating Trump administration pressure on the oil-rich South American nation.
The US has liberated Venezuela.
Israel is liberating Gaza.
Russia is liberating Ukraine.
Imperialism speaks a singular, reality warping, language. Subjects of “democratic” nations have always thought that their state stood for something. The reality is the US has been staging coups to create faux-democratic vassal states since before any of us were born. They even staged a coup in Ukraine before Putin invaded. Can empire and a true vibrant democracy ever be compatible?
