Today on Stinchfield, we’re breaking down the lie the media is already pushing — that what the United States is doing in Venezuela is somehow “nation building” like Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s not even close.
Venezuela is not a blank slate. It is not a tribal society. It is not a country invented by Western powers. Venezuela already knew freedom. It lived freedom. It is historically a Christian nation built on Western values, private property, and civil society. What destroyed Venezuela wasn’t culture — it was socialism and dictatorship imposed on a people who once lived free.
That matters, because restoring freedom is not the same as trying to invent it. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States tried to impose Western systems on societies that had never embraced them, where religious and cultural structures demand submission to authority and leave little room for individual liberty. You cannot nation-build where freedom is incompatible with the underlying belief system.
Venezuela is different. The people know what they lost. They remember elections that mattered, businesses that operated freely, churches that weren’t controlled by the state, and a middle class that thrived. Removing a criminal regime and returning power to a population that already understands liberty is not occupation — it’s restoration.
The media doesn’t want to have this conversation because it destroys their favorite narrative: that America is always the problem. But the truth is simple. Helping a free people reclaim their country is not imperialism. Letting a socialist dictator destroy a nation while exporting chaos to our hemisphere is the real crime.
We break down the historical, cultural, and moral difference today — and why this moment in Venezuela is nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan.
