“In Latin America and the Caribbean, the empire’s war on the world assumes a hybrid form. The carnage is less apparent because the weapons take the form of ‘soft power’ – sanctions, tariffs, and deportations. These can have the same lethal consequences as bombs, only less overt. Some Western leftists vilify the defensive measures that Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua must take to protect themselves from the empire’s regime-change schemes. In contrast, Washington clearly understands that these countries pose ‘threats of a good example’ to the empire.” [editor’s note: The Cuban, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan regimes are primarily concerned with defending themselves against “their own people.” US meddling, while a bad idea, is just their go-to excuse for domestic oppression (like 9/11, etc. has been for the US regime) – TLK] (07/24/25)
