A year after the US announced that Juan Guaido was the US-recognized ruler of Venezuela, he appears no closer to actually taking power. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, however, insists that the US has not given up.
Pompeo declined to offer specifics, but said “everyone can fully expect that the United States is not done,” and that more efforts to “support President Guaido” would be coming from the Trump Administration soon.
Guaido is making the rounds internationally, and is heading to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. It is possible he will meet President Trump there, though there has been no announcement yet.
The US appears to have drastically underestimated how to impose regime change in Venezuela, initially making it a press release that it had happened and assuming reality would catch up to their position. After a failed coup, however, there are growing doubts there will be any regime change at all, and many are already giving up.
With U.S. is just a waiting game to dispose.
Poor clueless Pompeo hasn’t figured out that American support is the kiss of death for Guaido in his home country. Funny how people get resentful when American government thugs try to run their lives.
Exactly. You’re right .. Clueless Porky Pompass hasn’t yet figured out that US support’s the kiss of death for Guaido in his home country. Yes, we’ve been busy trying to egg Iran into doing something stupid so we can justify an attack. Anyway, Iran’s way too intelligent to fall into that trap .. So is Venezuela.
Mr. Cholesterol is just reminding people that we haven’t forgot about Venezuela. We’ve been busy trying to egg Iran into doing something stupid so we can justify an attack. We’ll be getting back to you good people of Venezuela as soon as we can fit you into our busy schedule.
Yeah, we know the whole world is on your checklist.
We can only hope that a few nations survive the Christian Charity of Mr Pompass, the US top diplomat.
Guido is pretty much irrelevant in Venezuela these days, his following is down to perhaps less than 1% of the electorate. Even the oppositions parties representing over 40% of the electorate rejected him in the legislature.
Why Washington continues to court him as some sort of messiah is strangely illogical.
