Venezuela: Resistance or disintegration?

Possibly the light-bulb in his head turned on a little after his 1 and a half hour talk with Putin. And lunatic Rachel Maddow is very upset about that. Watch her defend poor John Bolton's war-mongering against Venezuela "because Putin":

Let's hope the light-bulb turned on. If it is still actually possible for Trump to make any moral decisions then he eventually has to deal with the Israeli overlord problem which probably helped get him elected. If coming to the brink of a new war and blaming his advisors for misinformation would actually work then he still has to face the Israeli music ringing in his ears.

On top on that the "Murican/Merican" public has to go along with his judgement for him to get re-elected.

Catch 22 isn't a fun place to be. :nuts:

It's not looking too good. The light-bulb has to turn on for more than just Trump for things to get much better I think.
 
Now there's this:
Separately, the sources pointed out that Trump was “urging caution among senior advisers moving forward and expressing frustration that some aids are more openly teasing military intervention" in the South American country.

This comes after National Security Adviser John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Secretary of Defence Patrick Shanahan met in the Pentagon on Friday to discuss military options in Venezuela.

Let's hope the light-bulb turned on. If it is still actually possible for Trump to make any moral decisions then he eventually has to deal with the Israeli overlord problem which probably helped get him elected. If coming to the brink of a new war and blaming his advisors for misinformation would actually work then he still has to face the Israeli music ringing in his ears.

A few months back, those in the Pentagon's "too big to FALL" sorority and the top brass in Washington elite groupies miscalculated Trump's assertiveness - in dropping the Ball on Mattis. I reason, Trump has his own channels for reliable intel and is not limited to what he is being "spoon-fed" by the likes of Pompeo and Bolton. I think, Trump is acutely aware of what is going on now in Venezuela but he is being blocked from taking any real stand and defusing the situation?

It became apparent, after Mattis's firing, that VP Pence was supporting Mattis and a military invasion into Venezuela. To fill the void that Mattis left behind, two War Hawk's - Pompeo and Bolton stepped up to the plate. Trump may have "played along" giving Pompeo and Bolton enough rope to make fools of themselves and bring the situation "to a head" ... so Trump would have an opening to intervene?

Another failed Coup attempt by the US has left Venezuela a mess and the US - looking like complete idiots! To save face, the Pentagon wants to invade with the Military. Trump may have a "short window of opportunity" to defuse the whole situation by dropping the Ball - on both Pompeo and Bolton - reassigning "acting" U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan to a desk job, thus leaving VP Pence - holding the bag? I doubt, Pence will be on the ticket - along with Trump in the 2020 election? Pence has acted against Trump since day one.

I'm a little confused on an issue - I'm reading reports that it was actually Opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez - that the US wanted to replace Maduro with ... and not Guaido? And now the plan is (up until recently) when Maduro is ousted and replaced with Guaido, Guaido's position will only be temporary because Lopez is the one they really want in the Presidential seat? How stupid - is that?

Well, from the get-go Guaido was proclaimed to be the „interim president“ all over the place, so not really a surprise in my book.
 
I think, Trump is acutely aware of what is going on now in Venezuela but he is being blocked from taking any real stand and defusing the situation?
He is defusing the situatuion for the time being? ... I think he is seeing how the chess pieces move.

The meeting will take place ahead of Lavrov’s contacts with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with his visiting Venezuelan counterpart Jorge Arreaza in Moscow on Sunday to discuss the opposition’s attempt to seize power in that Latin American country on April 30. The meeting will take place ahead of Lavrov’s contacts with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, which are also expected to focus on Venezuela.

"There will be an exchange of opinion on the situation inside and around Venezuela in connection with the government coup attempt, the outlook for a political and diplomatic settlement of differences within the framework of the Venezuelan constitution, and various options of international mediatory efforts to promote a dialogue between the government and the opposition," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in connection with the forthcoming negotiations. "Certain steps will be discussed for expanding comprehensive Russian-Venezuelan partnership in the international scene, stepping up efforts by an informal group of countries for the protection of goals and principles enshrined in the UN Charter and also for resisting illegal, unilaterally imposed sanctions that worsen the social and economic situation in the country."

Russia's Lavrov urges U.S. to cancel plans to oust Venezuela's Maduro
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday that Russia condemns what he called a campaign to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, arranged by the United States, and urged Washington to cancel its "irresponsible" plans.

US, Russia butt heads over Venezuela
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pressed Sunday (May 5) for Russia to get out of Venezuela, while his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, called on Washington to "abandon its irresponsible plans" in the crisis-wracked country
.
The push and shove set the stage for a Pompeo meeting with Lavrov in Finland this week, and belied the conciliatory tone taken by US President Donald Trump on Friday after what he said was "a very good conversation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The top level contacts follow the failure of a US-backed uprising this week aimed at ousting Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, which Pompeo has blamed on Russia.

The secretary has said Maduro had been ready to flee to Havana but the Russians, who had flown military advisers to Caracas to shore up his socialist government, talked him out of it.

"The Russians must get out," Pompeo said in an interview Sunday with ABC's This Week. "I'm going to meet with Foreign Minister Lavrov in recent days. It's very clear, we want the Russians out, we want the Iranians out, we want the Cubans out. It's very clear," he said.

Trump undercut Pompeo's position on Friday, telling reporters that Putin had assured him "he is not looking to get involved in Venezuela other than he'd like to see something positive happen for Venezuela".

"And I feel the same way," Trump added.

Asked about those comments, Pompeo said, "I didn't see the full context of those quotes."

In Moscow, Lavrov met with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza and pushed back against Washington.

"We call on the Americans, and all those supporting them, to abandon their irresponsible plans and to act exclusively within the boundaries of international law," Lavrov said.

'Bumpy roads'
Washington has given full-throated backing to opposition leader Juan Guaido, who tried but ultimately failed to ignite a military uprising against Maduro on April 30.

Guaido, who is recognized by the US and 50 other countries as Venezuela's legitimate interim president, acknowledged Saturday in an interview with the Washington Post that he fell short.

"Maybe because we still need more soldiers, and maybe we need more officials of the regime to be willing to support it, to back the constitution," Guaido said. "I think the variables are obvious at this point." He has tried to keep up the pressure with massive street protests, but his latest call for demonstrations Saturday drew only several hundred people.

The attempted uprising set off two days of violent clashes between security forces and protesters that left four dead, dozens injured and more 150 people arrested.

Pompeo admitted to "bumpy roads" and said it could take "two weeks, four weeks" to remove Maduro.

On May 4th, a group of unrecognized heavily armed people ambushed a mixed military commission in Venezuela on May 4th. Three officers were left dead in the attack.

After an exchange of shots with an unrecognized group of heavily armed individuals, the brigadier general of the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB), Jackson Silva Zapata, and two officers of the Aragua Police identified as Bruno Manuel Benavidez, 34, and Jesús Eduardo Arraiz Sánchez, 30, both with the rank of chief officer were killed.

Following the failed coup attempt in Venezuela, US-Proclaimed Interim President Juan Guaido said he “overestimated” presumed military support.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Guaido said that he acknowledged errors made in his attempt to stir a military uprising. He further said he didn’t discard an option of a US military intervention and that if a “proposal” was made by Washington, he would take up to vote in the opposition-controlled National Assembly.



 
Looks like the CIA has been very busy - the Military wouldn't join Guaido - so they started eliminating the Top Brass?

It gives a clearer understanding of Venezuela's FM Jorge Arreaza visit to Moscow.

Venezuela's top diplomat says CIA behind attempts to overthrow Maduro's government

There is a plan made by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) behind attempts to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the country’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said at a press conference in Moscow on Monday.

"There is a whole plan made up by the CIA and the Venezuelan opposition to overthrow the Maduro government and take control of our country's natural resources, which belong to the people as a result of a socialist revolution," Arreaza said. "This is what we are trying to prevent. We don’t want the Venezuelan people to suffer," he added.

The Venezuelan top diplomat pointed out that the country’s authorities had demanded US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo enter dialogue with them. "Don’t use force, don’t stage coups for we have democratic institutions and the time has come for diplomacy. The US presidential administration should allow the Venezuelan opposition to come to the negotiating table with us," Arreaza said.


Venezuela’s government cannot decide on Guaido’s arrest, says top diplomat
The Venezuelan government is not authorized to make a decision on the arrest of opposition leader Juan Guaido on charges of attempted coup, it is up to other state agencies to make such decisions, the country’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said at a press conference in Moscow on Monday.

"There is some information concerning these events and people involved in the [attempted] coup, which has been provided by the country’s prosecutor general. The judicial authorities have opened an investigation," he said. "The Constitutional Assembly has stripped Guaido of immunity but it is not up to the government to decide whether to arrest him or not. Other state agencies must make a decision on the matter," Arreaza added.

"The Venezuelan people want justice and respect for the law, they demand that the system of justice be effective because if democracy is under attack and the law is violated then necessary measures must be taken," the Venezuelan top diplomat emphasized.

According to Peskov, "the meeting’s participants paid much attention to the situation in Venezuela in light of the news about an attempted coup."


Group of Russian military specialists in Venezuela may be enlarged, says foreign minister
A group of Russian military specialists working in Venezuela under an agreement on military and technical cooperation may be enlarged, Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said at a news conference in Moscow on Monday.

"We need to provide for equipment maintenance and exchange military and technical information. This work has been going on since 2001 when we signed an agreement on military cooperation. Currently, a commission of specialists is present on the territory of Venezuela and, no doubt, it may be expanded," Venezuela’s top diplomat said.

Arreaza said Venezuela will be prepared for any march of events, including a military scenario, and it will give a firm rebuff in case of a US armed aggression.

"We will be ready for any scenario, but we put the emphasis on diplomacy first thing," he said. "We are for peace and we wish to talk to everybody about peace, but if the United States prefers a military path, we have our armed forces, our people’s militia, and the people, and we will be prepared not only to resist and fight back, but to overpower and destroy any army, however strong it might be," Arreaza said.

A meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo has begun in the Finnish city of Rovaniemi, a TASS correspondent reported.

The meeting’s focus is supposed to be on the situation in Venezuela. The parties will also touch upon the Ukrainian issue, the Syrian conflict and strategic stability.

Lavrov and Pompeo are holding full-fledged talks for the second time. Their first meeting took place on the sidelines of the Russian-US summit in Helsinki in July 2018.

---Simultaneous translation into Spanish

https://youtu.be/5KYRUjen6gM

According to what I heard from the simultanean translation:

Mr Lavrov, we have a question from the European channel?--we have heard the phrase "Hands of Venezuela", and ... what was your answer to this phrase--

Lavrov: you know, we haven't tried to concentrate on the statements in the media space, considering that there's a lot of ...science and it has nothing to do with real politics, we've concentrated on real politics.

Mr. Lavrov When I was on my way here, Mr. Pompeo spoke in front of the cameras, he said that, Russia legally requires a permit to build ships to cross the northern sea route and increases its northern military activities, how can you comment?

Lavrov: I can only repeat what I already said, we have not talked about the political declarations that are made publicly to create a special effect, we have concentrated on the real issues, we have not discounted the north maritime route, we will talk about it tomorrow, the north maritime route is a very important national route for very Russia, and we as a sovereign country... in accordance with international law we are responsible for safety, just as Canada is responsible for its route and in this sense we are going to do everything to ensure that the transfer of ships is safe and complies with international standards.

From CNN, if we are talking about a military intervention in Venezuela, what possibilities are on the table for Russia to stop it.

Lavrov : Some consider your company as fake news and now you ask fake questions.

We are very much against military actions in the order of International Law can be solved only at UN, eh .. to respond to aggression against a sovereign state is not something like to- .. Venezuela and my, contacts with American partners and other partners, in Europe and Latin America because, I do not see that there are people who support a military option and I hope that this understanding that everyone has, that this understanding becomes a policy that is real, that there is no military resolution.

The american diplomats also understand it?

Lavarov: Yes

We've talked about the upcoming meeting of Mr. Putin with Mr. Trump?

Lavrov: Our president has agreed to meet with Mr. Trump when he has a chance, I think this chance will come and you will know ...

And CNN decides to bring out this kind of news to divert attention from what Lavrov said about them being fake news? Or they are just ...
Fake news alert: CNN says Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido 'won election in January'
 
It appears, not surprisingly, that the zionist creeps and their minions in the US are now trying to propagate that Maduro and his supporters (oh, sorry, regime) 'hate Israel' and 'support Hamas' and that 'Hamas supports the Maduro regime'. In their pathological minds, they probably see the recent situations in Gaza and Venezuela as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone; brilliant – by lumping together Maduro and Hamas as haters of Israel they can destroy both without loosing sleep!

Also, it's again revealing how many prominent conservative 'dissidents' like Mike Cernovich, Sarah A. Carter, Posobiec etc. are giving their full support to the zionist psychos. Makes it pretty obvious who really is their boss and what their most important agenda is. I get the feeling that at least 75% of these 'sane voices' on social media are in cahoots with the zionists and their propaganda machinery.

Here's an example:

 
Sounds like Lavrov - met up with a solid brick wall - in his meeting with Pompeo?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with his U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo in Finland on Monday after which he warned that U.S. military intervention in Venezuela would be catastrophic and unjustified.

The two men met on the sidelines of a meeting of the Arctic Council in Finland.

Lavrov told reporters his meeting had been constructive and that the two top diplomats had made decent progress when it came to discussing strategic nuclear stability.

Lavrov also said he was sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump would have another chance to meet again after their summit in Helsinki last year.


US understands there can be no military solution to Venezuela issue, says Lavrov
US officials understand that there can be no military solution to the Venezuela issue because the consequences of such a scenario would be devastating, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said following a meeting with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo on Monday.

"Judging by my contacts with my American and other colleagues, including those from Europe and Latin America, I don’t see anyone who would call for a reckless military solution. I hope everyone understands that as far as practical politics is concerned, there can be no military solution because it would mean catastrophe," the Russian top diplomat emphasized. When asked whether US diplomats understood it, he answered in the affirmative.

"We strongly oppose military actions in breach of international law, anywhere," Lavrov went on to say. "Only the United Nations Security Council can authorize the use of force. Besides, it [force] can be used in response to an aggression against a sovereign state. No options concerning Venezuela imply any such thing," he noted.

Lavrov said following Sunday’s talks with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza that US President Donald Trump had not announced intentions to launch a military intervention in Venezuela during the May 3 telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.


Lavrov says his meeting with Pompeo focused on real politics rather than on public oratory
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday his meeting with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo focused on real politics rather than on public pronouncements.

"We tried not to focus on the pronouncements made in public, bearing in mind the fact that these pronouncements impact too many things that, as a rule, have nothing to do with real politics. We tried to focus on real politics. And we did it," he told journalists after a meeting with Pompeo when asked whether they had discussed the United States’ possible military intervention into Venezuela’s domestic affairs.

Lavarov: Yes

We've talked about the upcoming meeting of Mr. Putin with Mr. Trump?

Lavrov: Our president has agreed to meet with Mr. Trump when he has a chance, I think this chance will come and you will know ...

Lavrov confident Putin and Trump will have possibility to meet

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday he is sure the Russian and US Presidents, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, will have a possibility to meet.

"The presidents agreed to meet when they have such a possibility," he said after a meeting with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo. "I am sure there will be such a possibility. The Kremlin will tell about that."

The Kremlin press service said on May 3 that Putin and Trump had had a lengthy telephone conversation that was initiated by the US side. The two leaders discussed bilateral relations with a focus on economic cooperation and reiterated their commitment to closer dialogue in various spheres, including on issues of strategic stability.

The only full-format talks between Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Donald Trump of the United States were held in July 2018 in Helsinki. The two leaders have had a number of meetings on the margins of large-scale international events but have failed to agree new talks.
 
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is set on Tuesday to offer new incentives to Venezuela's military to turn against President Nicolas Maduro, responding to an attempted uprising that fizzled out last week, a senior administration official stated.

Exclusive: Pence to offer 'carrots' to Venezuela military, warnings to judges May 6, 2019

In a speech to the Americas Society at the State Department, scheduled for 3:25 p.m. (1925 GMT), Pence will also warn that the United States will soon move to sanction 25 additional magistrates on Venezuela’s supreme court, the official said on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Pence will also offer assistance for refugees who have fled the country, and an economic aid package contingent on a political transition, according to the official.

Pence’s speech will be the first look at the Trump administration’s recalibrated strategy following massive street protests last week led by Juan Guaido, the opposition leader backed by the United States and most other Western countries.

Guaido had described the protests as the start of his “final phase” to oust Maduro, but mass military defections failed to come to fruition.

President Donald Trump has invested considerable political capital in the diplomatic and economic intervention in the Venezuela crisis.

Although Guaido’s attempted uprising failed to immediately dislodge Maduro, it exposed new fissures within the country, the official said.

“A week before last, all the media - including you guys, everybody - was writing about how there’s no way forward, complete stalemate,” the official said. “Suddenly last week, everyone woke up.”

NEW CARROTS, AND A STICK
Guaido, the president of the country’s national assembly, invoked Venezuela’s constitution in January to declare himself interim president of the country, arguing that Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate.

Maduro - who has said Guaido is a puppet of Washington - has sought to show that the military remains on his side, but opposition leaders and U.S. officials have said that support is tenuous.

“They sat back in the barracks and they’re there, but they don’t want to be identified as the institutional source of repression,” the official said.

Pence will offer new “carrots” to the Venezuelan military, the senior official told Reuters, declining to provide details of the incentives ahead of the speech.

“He’ll be showing where the opportunities lay if people do the right thing moving forward,” the official said.

Pence is also set to outline new assistance for Venezuelans who have fled the oil-rich OPEC member, which has been plagued by hyperinflation and shortages of food, water, power and medicine - and a “Day One” economic assistance plan for Venezuela contingent on Maduro’s departure, the official added.

The vice president in addition will deliver a “warning shot” to magistrates on Venezuela’s supreme court. The Treasury Department sanctioned the court’s president, Maikel Moreno, in 2017 and the seven principal members of its constitutional chamber - and is now preparing to sanction the 25 remaining members of the court, the official said.

“We feel like that’s where the pressure needs to be,” according to the official.

“All 32 magistrates in the TSJ are going to sink or swim together,” the official said, using the acronym for Tribunal Supremo de Justicia.

The court would be responsible for signing off on any warrant for an arrest of Guaido - a move the U.S. official emphasized would have severe consequences.

The United States imposed sweeping sanctions on Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, PDVSA, in January. Oil provides 90 percent of export revenue for Venezuela.

The administration also continues to work on other responses to increase financial pressure on Maduro, including “secondary sanctions” on companies from other countries that do business with Venezuela, and additional shipping sanctions for oil, the official said.

Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance

The Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (commonly known as the Rio Treaty, the Rio Pact, or by the Spanish-language acronym TIAR from Tratado Interamericano de Asistencia Recíproca) was an agreement signed in 1947 in Rio de Janeiro among many countries of the Americas.[2] The central principle contained in its articles is that an attack against one is to be considered an attack against them all; this was known as the "hemispheric defense" doctrine. The treaty was initially created in 1947 and came into force in 1948, in accordance with Article 22 of the treaty. The Bahamas was the most recent country to sign and ratify it in 1982.[1] Several countries have however breached the treaty on multiple occasions
