Washington’s hypocrisy is on full display: sending destroyers to “fight drugs” while actively starving a nation and plotting regime change over the world’s largest oil reserves, this time Venezuela.
1. The “Anti-Drug” Mission: A Classic US Pretext
The United States has announced it is sending three warships toward Venezuelan waters under the guise of combating “narco-terrorism.” This is not a new script.
We’ve seen this before:
-
Iraq 2003: “Weapons of Mass Destruction”
-
Libya 2011: “Protecting Civilians”
Image 2: The United States has deployed to support for Libya’s people of freedom and their prosperity to continue in secure manner: a naval force of 11 ships, including the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge, the amphibious transport dock USS Ponce, the guided-missile destroyers USS Barry and USS Stout, the nuclear attack submarines USS Providence and USS Scranton, the cruise missile submarine USS Florida and the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney. Additionally, B-2 stealth bombers, AV-8B Harrier II ground-attack aircraft, EA-18 and F-15 and F-16 fighters have been involved in action over Libya.U-2 reconnaissance aircraft are stationed on Cyprus. On 18 March, two AC-130Us arrived at RAF Mildenhall as well as additional tanker aircraft. On 24 March 2 E-8Cs operated from Naval Station Rota Spain, which indicates an increase of ground attacks.

Syria: “Fighting Terrorism”

Now, Venezuela is the next target—and the excuse is just as transparent.
The real goal? To destabilize the government of Nicolás Maduro, who Washington refuses to recognize because he dares to prioritize Venezuelan sovereignty over U.S. demands.
2. The Oil in the Room: Why Venezuela Really Matters
Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. That is not a coincidence—it is the reason.
The U.S. does not intervene in:
-
Real drug hubs in Honduras or Guatemala

Actual dictatorships like Saudi Arabia
Image 6: Call them ‘Dictators’, not ‘Kings’
It intervenes where strategic resources are at stake. The playbook is simple:
-
Sanction the country into economic crisis.
-
Fund opposition movements and call them “the real government.”
-
Create humanitarian chaos.
-
Invade or orchestrate coup under a “humanitarian” or “anti-drug” pretext.
It’s regime change 101.
3. The “Guaidó Project”: A Failed Puppet
For years, the U.S. backed Juan Guaidó—a man who never won a national election—as the “legitimate” president of Venezuela. The goal was to create a parallel government willing to hand over Venezuela’s oil to U.S. corporations.
The plan failed. Guaidó had no real domestic support, and the Venezuelan military remained loyal to Maduro.
Now, with diplomacy failing, the U.S. is escalating toward military intimidation.
4. Sanctions = Economic Warfare
The U.S. has imposed crushing sanctions on Venezuela:
-
Blocking oil exports
-
Freezing foreign assets
-
Limiting food and medicine imports
These are not “targeted” sanctions. They are collective punishment designed to make the population suffer until they overthrow their own government.
The result? The richest country in oil is now one of the poorest in stability—by U.S. design.
5. What’s Next: Syria in Latin America?
If the U.S. succeeds in triggering unrest, Venezuela could descend into a proxy war:
-
US-backed factions vs. government loyalists
-
Destabilized region: Colombia and Brazil may be drawn in
-
Mass refugee crises
-
Another generation lost to war
All while the U.S. positions itself to control the oil.
6. The Real Drug Lords
While the U.S. claims to fight drugs, it ignores that the largest drug consumer market is in the United States. The real “narco-terrorism” is fueled by American demand and American banks that launder drug money.
This isn’t about drugs. It’s about domination.
