Secretary of State Rex Tillerson recently openly threatened regime change for Venezuela’s Maduro, but the US goal of regime change for the South American country is nothing new.
The US gov’t has set aside at least $49 million for regime for opposition groups in the country since 2009, along with $4 million in funding to Venezuelan journalists between 2007 and 2009.
If US experience with past attempts at regime change are any indication, the result will be the same as it’s been in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the rest of the Middle East: destabilization, millions dead, millions more displaced, a country-wide dumpster fire, and another generation of foreigners wishing death upon US citizens.
