Venezuela: The Inauguration of Trump's 'Post-Democracy'

Kostas Argyrou comments on the US operation in Venezuela, characterizing the regime change attempt as a simple imposition of American will, given the already weakened international legality. He points out that the US is not dismantling international law, but finds it already in poor condition and exploits it for its own benefit. Argyrou states that US policy is based on the 'Monroe Doctrine' and the belief that the US has the right to intervene in the affairs of Latin America. He emphasizes that the change of regime can be done directly, without the need for intermediaries, and that oil is a key motive for US intervention. The commentator also sends messages to other countries, such as China, Russia, and the Middle East, warning that the US is not hesitant to impose its interests. He criticizes the awkward stance of Europeans, who avoid referring to international law, and expresses fears about possible future US interventions. In summary, Argyrou presents a strongly critical view of US policy in Venezuela, denouncing it as an attempt to impose American dominance and disregard for international law.
