US uses drug trafficking as pretence to force regime change in Venezuela

The recent confirmation by Donald Trump regarding CIA operations in Venezuela highlights a troubling strategy where drug trafficking concerns are used as a pretext for regime change. This move not only raises questions about U.S. interventionism but also signals a shift in CIA policy under John Ratcliffe, emphasizing covert actions in politically sensitive regions. The implications of this approach could destabilize Venezuela further and set a precedent for future interventions, making it a significant issue for international relations.
