US Edition'Regime Change' in Venezuela Is a Euphemism for US-Inflicted Carnage and Chaos
U.S. military patrols off Venezuela aim to pressure the government amid a decades-long regime change strategy that has often led to regional instability, analysts say.
- A U.S. naval and special-operations presence has assembled off Venezuela, with helicopter patrols by units including the 160th SOAR, warning of a renewed 'regime change' effort.
- The long neocon 'regime change' tradition underpins U.S. pressure on Caracas, enabled by the U.S. war machine and President Donald Trump's appointment of Marco Rubio as a top foreign-policy adviser, highlighting a confrontational stance toward Venezuela.
- Units like the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — 'Nightstalkers' — bring a record of covert helicopter missions, while tactics include coups, sanctions, and diplomatic recognition of opposition figures.
- Past U.S.-backed interventions left countries with decades of division and suffering, citing Haiti's post-2004 crisis after Jean-Bertrand Aristide's removal and Iraq's stolen oil revenues amounting to at least $150 billion.
- The authors stress 'regime change' would violate the UN Charter, note Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva excluded Marco Rubio from talks, and warn of spillovers like Crimea and Donbas.
