Senator
Rubio calls for military coup in Venezuela
RT,

February, 2018
“The
world would support the Armed Forces in #Venezuela if they decide to
protect the people & restore democracy by removing a dictator,”
Florida Senator Rubio wrote.
Soldiers eat out of garbage cans & their families go hungry in #Venezuela while Maduro & friends live like kings & block humanitarian aid
Rubio’s
tweets come after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Thursday hinted
at his support for a coup d’etat in Venezuela, as well as more
sanctions including an embargo on Venezuela’s valuable oil exports.
The
Trump administration is seeking to ramp-up pressure on President
Nicolas Maduro’s socialist regime in the wake of alleged human
rights abuses against political dissidents in the country.
“In
the history of Venezuela and South American countries, it is often
times that the military is the agent of change when things are so bad
and the leadership can no longer serve the people," Tillerson
said at the University of Texas in Austin on Thursday.
Responding
to Tillerson’s statements, Jorge Arreaza, the Venezuelan foreign
minister, wrote: “Our sovereign democracy does not obey imperialist
pressures, it obeys a free people.”
La gira de Tillerson, aparte de confirmar lealtades carnales de algunas élites gobernantes hacia D. Trump, no fue más que una demostración de la obsesión y de amenazas contra Venezuela. Nuestra Democracia soberana no obedece a presiones imperialistas, obedece a un pueblo libre
Venezuela
is scheduled to have a presidential election on April 22 after
mediation talks between Maduro’s leftist government and an
opposition coalition broke down on Wednesday.
In
January, Rubio urged President Donald Trump to adopt sanctions
against Diosdado Cabello, an important ally of Maduro.
Many
on Twitter were less than impressed by Rubio’s latest foray into US
foreign policy.
Sir I really understand your concern for Venezuela (I am married to a Venezuelan). However would not the situation there be better handled by the international community leaving you to concentrate on what’s wrong with Florida?
*looks around*
Who called for a military coup? Certainly wasn’t me. But ignoring the takeover of our democracy by a foreign power? I guarantee you that won’t end well. For anyone.
How many countries are we now occupying and plotting to overthrow and occupy? In the meantime, Americans go hungry and can't afford healthcare. You do realize that this trajectory is not sustainable...right?
