“The Los Angeles Times has just published an article that proposes a way for the U.S. government to oust Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro from power: ‘The harshest possible sanctions must be leveled against Maduro and all state-owned industries to make an exit plan his best option.’ The article was authored by Kristina Foltz, ‘a researcher and writer based in California and Colombia.’ Wow! What a brilliant idea! Ingenious, really. Why didn’t anyone think of that idea before now? Oh, wait a minute. Somebody did! In fact, the U.S. government has been imposing the harshest economic sanctions against Venezuela ever since Maduro took power and even before him, during the regime of his predecessor Hugo Chavez. What has been the result of those harsh sanctions? Did they succeed in ousting Chavez from power? Have they succeeded in ousting Maduro from power?” (08/29/24)
