US representative for Venezuela regime change Elliott Abrams has announced that the US will continue to endorse Venezuela’s Juan Guaido as the country’s ruler, following a December election that the opposition plans to boycott.
The US has endorsed Guaido for over a year, despite him not winning an election, and predicted he would eventually claim power, despite that not having happened so far. The US was reportedly frustrated that their diktats did not immediately result in a change in power, but they don’t seem willing to give up on the idea.
Abrams, indeed, has said he expects dozens of other countries to recognize Guaido. Abrams added that the US won’t accept the result of Venezuela’s vote, whatever that turns out to be, on the assumption that it will weaken Guaido’s claim.
Abrams accused Turkey of playing a role in the Maduro government’s survival, saying a “lot of gold” was passing from Venezuela to Iran by way of Turkey.
the state always reflects the desires and values of its people—as Durkheim observed…amerikans require immoral leaders to conduct immoral wars…..every single congressman enthusiastically applauded Gaido when he was introduced at a joint session….it was the fascist sanders that described Hugo Chavez as “a dead dictator”
Are you implying that Chavez is still alive?
When Chavez was alive and the leader of Venezuela, my thought was, “who cares, like, what threat is Chavez to the U.S.?”. My mistake, Venezuela has our oil (interest).
More and more leaders are recognizing Venezuela as a benevolent government which has the best interests of the people as a top priority.
Venezuelan’s do not want to return to a neoliberal society with the 1% hoarding the countries riches.
They seem to be tough and resilient while working around Washington’s sanctions.
The UN and 20 other countries publicly recognize Venezuela’s rights to Diplomatic independence and Territorial integrity.
Apparently the Venezuelan people don’t recognize the Maduro regime as a benevolent government. Otherwise he wouldn’t have to keep pre-rigging elections to make sure he has no real opponents.
