His last visit to a short tour of South America, Mike Pompeo paid to Colombia. more precisely, Cucuta town, located on the border with Venezuela. Here he is pretty cute talked with refugees and promised them to announce more sanctions against Nicolas Maduro.
After the departure is optimistic American refugees have long tried to look into his idea. How does the decline in living standards in their homeland should be a blessing for them and help solve everyday problems? Oh and do not understand.
I, confess, also.
Not only me, but many struck, Mike Pompeo did not dare to call on Venezuelan territory, even for, to see the supporters of its marionette Juan Guaydo. what, of course, He speaks in favor of the incumbent president and vividly shows the relatively weak position of the US.
Blitzkrieg has not turned, calculation of the, that Nicolas Maduro betray the army, not justified. For American politicians Venezuela remains a dangerous place, here they do not put their nose, all, what they are solved, is to walk along its borders, without the risk of cross red line.
Secretary of State lacked only a megaphone, in which he would have shouted curses Maduro, standing at the border crossing. Then, similar to the ukropolitikami, from time to time make their funny side near Genichesk, It would be full.
But, perhaps, fervent chants we hear. Painfully, American foreign policy has become in recent years to remind Ukrainian.
When European allies after the US, one after another recognized president Juan Guaydo, it seemed to me, they were delighted. Here she is, real America, in which all that believed, - strong, reckless, impudent. to nobody, of course, It was not the case before, who will lead Venezuela, broken with the international law or not. There was another important: Castle on the hill takes revenge for the wasted two years and returns its influence.
But it turned out, it's just a game a few hawks in Washington, who managed for a short time to draw it to Donald Trump. Cavalry priskachet not and will not chop the cabbage unruly Venezuelans. All, that can afford modern America, - a sanction, sabotage and hints, that the army is about to invade and take Caracas.
Not enough to restore the former glory and authority of the hegemon, you do not find?
