Secretary Marco Rubio: You have just lost any trust Venezuelans ever had on you, and it will come to haunt you. You opted to use US power, not to free Venezuelans, but to go to bed with our oppressors. You opted to push an asset grab, an unconstitutional deal with an illegitimate oppressive government, instead of using US leadership to re-establish constitutional rule and democracy first, and then deal with a legitimate government that could have made credible long-term commitments, in due course. This announced deal will not stand. Delcy, contrary to what you boss just stated [see below] is not "highly respected" by any Venezuelan I know, or by any American outside of the Mar-a-lago kleptocracy. She has no legitimacy or constitutional power to commit Venezuela to any such deal. Venezuelans will not respect this illegitimate deal and no major US oil company will take it seriously because they know it will not last. No wonder you are using wanted criminals - like Alejandro Betancourt - to make this shameful deal. You are also preventing our leader - Maria Corina Machado - from returning to Venezuela, and you have conspired to delay elections and the return to democracy. Shameful.
No olvidemos que el señor Diosdado Cabello durante décadas envió toneladas de droga a los EEUU para asesinar ciudadanos estadounidenses y que conspiró para asesinar al actual secretario Rubio.
Este es el equivalente a ver a un diplomático estadounidense charlando en confianza con Pablo Escobar.
EEUU corre un riesgo reputacional gigantesco en su lucha contra el narcoterrorismo en la región y sus avanzadas dentro del Escudo de las Américas.
Lo peor, están brindando a la izquierda internacional y a los comunistas, toda la batería narrativa para decir que la lucha contra las drogas de los EEUU es falsa.
No olvidemos que el propio Diosdado Cabello durante años mintió acusando al secretario Marco Rubio de ser un narcotraficante y le apodaba "Narco Rubio", también hay pruebas de que Cabello conspiró para tratar de asesinar en el pasado al actual secretario de Estado.
Insisto que, el riesgo reputacional para EEUU es muy elevado.
Honestamente, por el bien de los EEUU, de Venezuela y de la avanzada contra el narcoterrorismo en América Latina, esperamos que esta situación se corrija muy pronto.
La línea narrativa de: "Con terroristas no se negocia" podría verse derrumbada y podría generar mucho daño en el futuro para la seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos.

“Señor Trump, necesitamos justicia aquí. Señora Machado, la necesitamos. Usted tiene planes, esta gente no. Están robando”.

Dear Ambassador Barrett,
My name is Jesus Daniel Romero. I am an American by birth, born to a Venezuelan father and an American mother. I proudly served the United States for more than 22 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a Naval Intelligence Officer. I later served an additional 15 years as an Intelligence Operations Specialist with the Department of the Army, retiring from federal service in 2022. Throughout my career, I also served our nation overseas in several Latin American countries in diplomatic assignments supporting the Department of Defense and advancing United States national security interests and foreign policy objectives.
The values of the United States—freedom, justice, human dignity, and the rule of law—are not simply ideals to me. They are principles I have defended throughout my military and civilian service.
Like many others, I listened carefully to your recent interview. I must tell you that I was deeply disappointed by your comments. They stand in stark contrast to the values that I have spent my life serving and defending.
A relationship with any government should never come at the expense of moral clarity, particularly when dealing with a regime that has been widely criticized for its human rights record. At a time when the Venezuelan people are suffering the consequences of a devastating natural disaster, your remarks were perceived by many as unnecessarily sympathetic toward those in power rather than toward the victims.
Whether intended or not, words matter. Public statements by an American ambassador carry tremendous weight, especially during moments of crisis. History often remembers not only the decisions public officials make, but also the words they choose when people are looking for leadership, compassion, and moral clarity.
I have been unable to find anyone who publicly supports or agrees with your comments. On the contrary, the overwhelming public reaction has been one of disappointment, disbelief, and concern. That alone should give pause and invite reflection.
I respectfully ask you to consider the impact your words have had on countless Venezuelans, including many who have long looked to the United States as a beacon of freedom, justice, and hope. During a moment of profound human suffering, many expected empathy and moral clarity from the representative of the United States. Unfortunately, your remarks conveyed something very different.
As someone who has devoted nearly four decades to serving this nation in uniform, in intelligence, and in diplomatic assignments abroad, I felt compelled to express my profound disappointment. Public service is ultimately measured not only by the offices we hold, but by the principles we uphold when they are tested the most.
Respectfully,
Jesus Daniel Romero

🫓 State media propagandist asked the leader of the Mexican rescue team Topos to thank Delcy Rodríguez.
"I'm no politician, I'm a rescuer... I sent her to hell... Then came her boss and I said: I'm sorry but I had to mistreat that pendeja..."
Thank you to the members of California’s Urban Search and Rescue teams who are on the ground helping the people of Venezuela recover.
The devastation is heartbreaking, and Jen and my thoughts are with every family impacted. https://t.co/TUBiMlSYY3

Ricardo Hausmann: "Nos están llevando a una dictadura férrea y la forma de no llegar ahí es que inviten a los líderes políticos, como María Machado, a formar parte de una verdadera transición. Aquí hay que establecer una agenda política hoy, no mañana"
