SBF في السجن يتحدث: يتهم وسائل الإعلام الغربية بمعايير مزدوجة، ويتحدث عن السياسة الأمريكية وتطبيق القانون الانتقائي

【BlockBeats】What’s interesting is that SBF, writing from detention a while back, raised a thought-provoking question — why do American and Western media apply completely different standards to leaders of different countries?

He compared Venezuelan President Maduro with former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH). Both had complicated backgrounds and governed countries plagued by drug trafficking issues. However, their stories eventually diverged dramatically — JOH later cooperated with the US on combating drug crimes, and peacefully transferred power after his term; Maduro was accused of colluding with drug trafficking organizations, turning a blind eye to election results, and ultimately moving toward authoritarianism.

There’s an interesting detail here: The US government arrested JOH after his term ended and extradited him back home, and after Maduro refused to recognize election results, the US chose a similar approach.

SBF’s question is this: liberal media was very critical about “whether the US arresting Maduro in Venezuela is legal,” but he can’t understand why when the US arrested JOH in Honduras back then, these same media outlets remained collectively silent? He believes the root cause is highly politicized — the media supports Maduro and opposes JOH, simply because Maduro was once opposed by Trump, while JOH actually received a pardon from Trump.

SBF’s final conclusion is that this isn’t about “rule of law” at all, but rather political stance driving the choice of narrative in public discourse. This viewpoint is somewhat thought-provoking — regardless of how you view him as a person, this topic is definitely worth discussing in the community.
