The United States should support the rule of law, fair elections and self-determination for the Venezuelan people. We must condemn the use of violence against unarmed protesters and the suppression of dissent. 2/3
But we must learn the lessons of the past and not be in the business of regime change or supporting coups—as we have in Chile, Guatemala, Brazil & the DR. The US has a long history of inappropriately intervening in Latin American nations; we must not go down that road again. 3/3
So basically Maduro bad but coup is worse? It'd be nice if you could unequivocally condemn the coup and leave the handwringing over Maduro out of it.
But the situation is that nuanced. Maduro is a dictator but that doesn't mean it's our business to instill our own leader.
You didn't speak about the crippling sanctions we have used to oppress the Venezuelan people. Those need to stop!
The sanctions do not opress the Venezuelan people. The sanctions are against individuals in the government who have stolen money from Venezuela and violated human rights. I'm Venezuelan. Hunger in my country is exclusively Chávez's and Maduro's fault.
Yes!!!! Exactly!!! But, they do have oil, so I expect we'll dive right in and make sure we can control their oil fields, like Iraq.
Actually Chile, Guatemala, Brazil and DR are not doing too bad nowadays..
As someone from the Dominican Republic (DR), I can say that the US invasion only made our progress significantly slower. We are still suffering from it. Countries need to have their own political processes respected, even popular insurrections tho (like the one happening now)
Yes a representative not as president and no I don't think he's policies is right but he was still (even though it maybe rigged) president
