US Bid to Topple President Maduro Bound to Fail
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
The quixotic, or more properly the terroristic US president, Donald Trump, and his thuggish regime are making frenzied efforts to undermine the peace of independent countries and change their system of government, but they will not succeed.
Venezuela is in the crosshairs, where the US - in blatant meddling into the internal affairs of an independent country - is trying to topple the elected government of Nicolas Maduro through propaganda, pressures, threats, attacks on ships - and now the virtual besieging of this oil-rich country by despatching naval forces, fully equipped with aircraft carriers.
These regime-change efforts disguised by allegations of mismanagement of economy, lack of democracy, or rigged elections, are actually about the US greed for oil and hegemony over nations opposing its extraterritorial policies.
Washington is making no secret of its goal of military intervention to kill President Maduro, who is determined to fight to his last rather than meekly surrendering to the enemy.
Even if the US manages to topple Maduro and murder him, its victory will prove pyrrhic. The history of American interventions in Latin America is a history of unmitigated disasters. Regime change efforts before resulted in fascist governments and military juntas, drug lord presidents and skyrocketing corruption. They did not endear Latin Americans to the manipulative gringos.
Venezuela, despite being unjustly subjected to the most crippling sanctions by the roguish US regime of Trump, because of the independent nature of the government in Caracas, seems determined to weather the storm, as it has done over the past decades, despite the distortion of the realities in that country by the American media.
Almost all Latin American countries oppose the US naval blockade of Venezuela and threats of military intervention to topple President Maduro.
The Islamic Republic of Iran in line of its principled policy of support for the oppressed of the world has reiterated its support for the elected government in Caracas.
Russia and China, as the two other major world powers have also warned Washington against meddling in Venezuelan affairs.
Madura has stood his ground. He has called upon reservists to be ready to face any aggression. The people of Venezuela are also on high alert. They are determined to defend the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
If things move in the proper direction US terrorism will surely fail in Venezuela.
