Regime change and foreign interventions are things that the two US ruling parties agree on regardless of how much they exchange blows at home. Venezuela is the latest place where Republicans and Democrats have found common ground.
If you watch the US media, you know what is happening in Venezuela: Dictator Nicolas Maduro is brutally suppressing the people he has been robbing for years, and now they have revolted and elected a true representative of their interest, the one true legitimate acting president Juan Guaido. And now it’s up to America to ‘fix’ democracy by whatever means necessary.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has even offered a simple explanation on how a ‘dream team’ of Democrats have prepared a package of laws, which will ensure Venezuela’s transition into a better future. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell will be bringing humanitarian aid, Donna Shalala will stop the arming of Maduro’s thugs with batons and tear gas, while Debbie Wasserman Schultz gets arguably the hardest task of them all – taking on Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems on Twitter: “We refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Maduro’s presidency. That’s why @RepEliotEngel, @RepDWStweets, @RepShalala, and @RepDMP are joining to introduce legislation to support the people of #Venezuela and hold the illegitimate President accountable for the crisis he created. pic.twitter.com/3JBCJLmwLf / Twitter”

You know, the one who – according to the current dogma of the American left establishment – already denied the Democrats the presidency in 2016 and whose puppet Donald Trump is currently trying to topple the Venezuelan government for some reason that only a 5-dimensional-chess master can understand.
Wasserman Schultz may hold a personal grudge against Putin. She had to resign as the Chair of the Democratic National Committee after leaked documents revealed how it was playing on the side of Hillary Clinton and against Bernie Sanders in 2016. The leak is widely attributed to Russia by American politicians and media.
The irony of Wasserman Schultz now being on the frontline of bringing democracy to Venezuela didn’t go unnoticed by Jill Stein, the head of the Green Party.
Dr. Jill Stein🌻 on Twitter: “Incredible: a video about bringing democracy to Venezuela, starring the person who rigged the 2016 DNC primary & ripped off millions of American voters. Hey Debbie Wasserman Schultz, how about you fix elections in Broward County, Florida before trying to “help” other countries? https://t.co/Yep6QhWIw5 / Twitter”

Stein is one of a handful of American politicians, who has publicly rejected American interference in Venezuela, saying it would be a greed-motivated disaster similar to those the US brought to Libya, Syria, Yemen, Honduras and Ukraine.
Dr. Jill Stein🌻 on Twitter: “The Democrats are backing Trump on regime change in Venezuela, just like they backed disasters in Afghanistan, Iraq, Honduras, Libya, Syria, Ukraine & Yemen. When it comes to regime change, the two parties of War & Wall Street are still marching in lockstep. https://t.co/Yep6QhWIw5 / Twitter”

Dr. Jill Stein🌻 on Twitter: “What does Trump want with Venezuela? He said it clearly in 2011 when asked how he’d deal with Libya & Iraq: the US should topple their governments & reward ourselves by taking their oil. Asked how that would affect those countries, Trump said: “Who cares?” https://t.co/QIOJcyApib / Twitter”

But who cares? Americans were told already that Stein is just a Putin tool stealing votes from Clinton and working for RT. Those were smears, but ‘alternative facts’ are not an invention of the Trump administration.
Opposing Washington’s regime change is a dangerous cause. Say a word of doubt, and you’ll find yourself in a virtual concentration camp for Putin puppets, Assad apologists and Maduro mouthpieces.
Glenn Greenwald on Twitter: “Yesterday, @RoKhanna became the first (and I believe only) member of Congress to question the wisdom of Trump’s decree of who rules Venezuela, so he’s instantly smeared as – you’ll never guess – a Russian asset by CNN contributor @michaeldweiss. Don’t call it McCarthyism! pic.twitter.com/TAPxb4kZ3d / Twitter”

Ilhan Omar on Twitter: “A US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face. Trump’s efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region. We must support Mexico, Uruguay & the Vatican’s efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue. / Twitter”

Just let the people who know how to cook up real democracy do their good work, right?

Those two women, a dream team of grinning horses. Dream on, USA. Your power has waned, nobody is interested in your foreign politics.
Telesur/Venezuela: President Nicolas Maduro is assisting military exercises, preparing to defend Venezuela against the US imperialists
Russia and China defend Venezuelan President Maduro at the UN Security Council, while pompous ass Pompeo is making a fool of himself. Pompous body, pompous speech. He is much too fat. Has he eaten too many of Muller’s zero-burgers?
I think the numpties in Washington including Trump know the USA is pretty much finished as a world power and now it’s just trying to steal whatever it can for the benefit of US corporations!.
It’s so absurd you wouldn’t believe it if were a High Concept movie plot.
We are talking Americans here; another Tom Clancy – Jack Ryan, Hollywood film spewed out next week will do the trick. Far from reality, the Yanks will believe it.
Pretty much everywhere the US “intervenes”, it’s all about the oil and how much USA can steal!.
The looting of other oil rich countries continues unabated under yet another corrupt greedy US President. Some things never change. Hopefully someone will drag some nukes across that southern border while it’s open and rid the world once and for all of this cancer called American Exceptionalism. The WORLD has had enough of US barbarism.
What election has Juan Guaido ever won? I get that Maduro fixed his election, so I don’t think he’s legit either, but it’s not the place of the US to meddle in other nations political system, since we apparently have a problem when other nations meddle in ours.
