COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY REYNALDO TROMBETTA IN THE GUARDIAN
“Venezuela has fallen to a dictator. But we can help to restore democracy
“Nicolás Maduro has brought the country to its knees. The international community must support Venezuelans trying to restore democracy”
A truly distasteful article, calling white black and black white and bundling it all up in the word "democracy."
President Maduro has fought heroically to maintain a democracy. They keep holding elections despite immense pressures and violence and dark operations.
The CIA has been working overtime with Venezuela's extreme right-wing interests to destabilize the country and bring it to its knees.
It has manipulated the currency, likely by counterfeiting huge amounts of it. It has conducted all kinds of sabotage against the country's interests, including with markets for its products abroad.
There are constant threats and dirty tricks, just a stream of them.
The US even has recently openly threatened invasion.
The very tone of this article suggests it is written with notes from Langley, Virginia.
