The US intervention in Venezuela did not emerge in a vacuum. It is part of a long and deeply troubling history of American-led regime change across the world. From Vietnam to Iraq, from Afghanistan to Syria, Washington has repeatedly justified military action as a way to remove “bad regimes” and replace them with democratic systems.

In financial terms, Indian-American households contribute more to the system than they take out. Their economic profile shows that when migrants arrive with skills, education, and employability, public resource dependence naturally declines.

The pushback followed Trump’s post Venezuela threats across continents, with Nordic and Baltic leaders stressing sovereignty, NATO norms, and warning against coercive diplomacy being normalised even among long standing transatlantic allies.

An exclusive in Semafor has revealed that the NYT and Washington Post both had prior knowledge of the raid before it was underway, but they chose to remain silent and delayed publishing anything about it, 'upon the request' of the Trump administration.
