The United States and their alleged Attempts to democratize Latin America””, this is a terrible story. A story full of hypocrisies, lies, and interventions, which have often made them worse. Anyone looking at the current interference of Washington in the tricky Venezuela crisis with great skepticism, I for good reason.
It can also not deny that the US is behavior this time is relatively clever. The sanctions against the Venezuelan state Oil company PDVSA and its Texas-based subsidiary, Citgo result in at least the sense. They are appropriate to the situation and promise a prospect of success. So, you could actually have a reasonably peaceful change of power in Caracas.
This change of power is overdue. And it is here, exceptionally, not to the big ideologies. Some on the Left like the have not yet understood, but the Maduro Regime is by no means the left. Rather, it is a criminal Elite that Rob an entire country into a severe humanitarian crisis has plunged. The Opposition to the self-appointed transitional President Juan Guaidó, certainly not an accumulation of pure humanists, promises at least, to allow much-needed aid shipments into the country. That would save many lives.
Almost all observers agree that the open power struggle in Caracas to decide on it is likely how the armed forces behave in the coming days and weeks. With the PDVSA sanctions the loyalty of the military top is set to Nicolás Maduro on their worst sample. Because corrupt generals control so far, the Oil business in Venezuela. If you notice that there’s nothing for them to jump out, it could animate the page change. So Maduro would be done well – and then, hopefully, the way for elections worthy of the name.
