Breaking: The Venezuelan people demand free and fair elections (they’re simply to afraid to say it publicly on the streets of Caracas). The United States should support this demand.
Why?
1. To rid themselves (and VE) from the yoke of tyranny and dictatorship of the corrupt regime run by the current cartel boss, Delcy Rodriguez.
2. To allow the people of Venezuela to decide for themselves their own future.
Trump gave them a chance back in January, it is now time for elections to be held so the Venezuelan people can choose new leadership instead of living under the same corrupt regime they’ve been living under for nearly two decades.
It is now believed that Delcy is receiving a lot of “crap” from her base about being a "sellout" to the imperialist United States. This recent “energy deal” was the distraction she needed to keep the Chavismo thugs off her backside.
Whats going on isn't what it seems; she’s doing what the Trump administration is directing her to do. Americans now have to wait and see what results from this deal.
Trust that she is not stupid (she managed to remain in power this long). Delcy is likely buying time because she believes she can stay in office, especially if elections aren't held before Trump's term is up.
In the end, if the energy deal is done correctly, and American political leaders place the people of Venezuela over policy, the people’s lives will change for the better—they deserve better lives and with Venezuela‘a vast natural resources, they can have better lives.
At this point, I trust that our administration will do just that. But I also strongly believe any deal will eventually collapse if Delcy and her Chavismo thugs remain in charge.
So What? Venezuela must hold elections immediately.
