Venezuela's opposition party may have kicked Juan Guaido to the curb, but that still doesn't mean that the U.S. can't just take over Venezuela’s embassy.
Venezuela's political opposition party has dissolved the "interim government" led by Juan Guaidó.
As far as I know Juan Guaidó is still considered the 'interim' President of Venezuela by Washington. Do you know who doesn't consider Juan Guaidó Venezuela's president, politician, or anything else for that matter? Venezuela's political opposition party.
Despite a full-press pressure campaign by the West, OPEC cut their production by twice as much as expected. What I find interesting is the reaction in Washington.
No one was a bigger supporter of America's regime change policy for Venezuela than Colombia's far-right government.
And then Colombia elected its first leftist president, Gustavo Petro, and everything changed.
As recently as January 2022, this was the story from that part of the world.
There's too much going on to focus on any one thing, so I'm just going to have to dump it all into one essay.
Today is election day in Colombia, and for the first time in that nation's 200 year history there is a real chance to have a leftist president.
Credit Suisse yesterday posted a forecast that came with the clause "not a typo".
Yesterday I pointed out how the Biden Administration is now talking to the legitimate government of Venezuela, a government that Washington doesn't actually recognize, in order to get their oil flowing again.
Today the spin started.
Technically the U.S. still considers Juan Guaidó the President of Venezuela, despite the fact that he never even ran for the office of President, nor holds an elected office of any kind, and only has a 15% approval rating.
About 2.5 years ago Juan Guaidó was about to assume the presidency of Venezuela, despite never even running for the office.
However, Guaido missed his moment, because, well, he's a fraud and a crook.
