The argument that the criminal US government is now focusing its attention on Latin America and the Caribbean after having forgotten about it for many years does not correspond to the reality. In fact, this is a natural escalation of already long-standing policies of aggression. The government of President Trump is desperately besieging Venezuela now because the constant regional US offensive since the start of the new century has not achieved its objectives.

In 1829, Simón Bolívar issued a warning that has echoed across two centuries of struggle: “The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.” Bolívar was not indulging in rhetorical excess. He was diagnosing an emerging imperial logic—one that cloaked domination in the language of freedom, conquest in the rhetoric of democracy, and plunder in the vocabulary of order. Nearly two hundred years later, as U.S. warships prowl the Caribbean, sanctions tighten into sieges, and unilateral force replaces international law, Bolívar’s words read less like prophecy than political realism.
