The red carpet was rolled out and a reception organized, complete with music, for the impostor Juan Guaidó upon his arrival in Colombia, where he traveled in violation of Venezuelan law, since his sentence for promoting violence forbids travel abroad. As if that were not enough, Colombian President Ivan Duque welcomed him saying: "Your presence honors us. You will always have a friend in Colombia."
Later, he would join the select group that, along with the U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, gathered in that nation to plot against Bolivarian Venezuela. Arriving from Miami, a group of Venezuelan counterrevolutionaries expressly requested that Guaidó ask Mike Pompeo for a U.S. military intervention in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Pompeo recalled that, last September, 12 countries on the continent gave their support to re-activation of the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR) in view of the situation in Venezuela, adding, "The United States and Colombia will continue to work with these countries bilaterally to restore democracy.”
Under the umbrella of “Reciprocal Assistance,” the U.S. intervened in Guatemala in 1954 to overthrow Jacobo Arbenz; invaded Cuba in April 1961, which backfired to become the first defeat of imperialism in the Americas; the Marines landed in Santo Domingo in 1965; the U.S. turned a blind eye to British aggression in the Malvinas, while supporting the coup in Chile and the death of Salvador Allende in 1973. The U.S. organized the uprising that ended the life of Maurice Bishop, in Grenada, in 1983, and intervened in Panama in 1989, in Ecuador in 2010, and Brazil during the government of Dilma Rousseff. The current illegitimate government in Bolivia and the war against Venezuela are part of this shameful record.
Guaidó is also going to the Davos Economic Forum, disregarding his sentence; along with Duque and Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno, but after the arrival of Donald Trump, whose impeachment trial is unfolding in the nation he leads.
