Peter Kuznick, a professor of history at American University in Washington, D.C., sharply criticized the United States for its recent military action against Venezuela in an interview with CGTN, saying that the US not only openly violates international law but even tramples on its own constitution. He said the United States is by no means a "guardian of democracy" or a "defender of human rights" but rather a global bully and a self-appointed "world police" that preys on the weak. The real purpose of its foreign interventions, he said, has never been democracy but the naked pursuit of oil and power. He described this as a ruthless plundering of interests with no regard for basic humanity, something that is both unbelievable and deeply infuriating.
