Like all Venezuelans, I have been glued to my phone over the last week following the moment our country is going through and trying to make any sense of the surreal situation of seeing my country bombed by US forces and a years-long dictator removed almost in real time.
Everything has happened with a speed that borders on the unreal. But as unbelievable and shocking as the events themselves are, what has unsettled me more is how quickly Venezuelans ceased to be the subject of the story at all.
Almost immediately, the media coverage migrated elsewhere toward abstractions of power and sovereignty, international law, toward oil, precedent, and geopolitics.
