Here's what Venezuela can expect from US "help"

Vince Dhimos on Quora:
 
Question in Spanish: How will the current situation in Venezuela inspire a new generation of better-prepared politicians?
 
https://es.quora.com/La-situaci%C3%B3n-actual-de-Venezuela-inspirar%C3%A1-una-nueva-generaci%C3%B3n-de-pol%C3%ADticos-venezolanos-m%C3%A1s-preparados
 
Translation of my answer in Spanish:
 
This question leads to other questions. It mentions “preparing politicians.” But what does that mean? Preparing them for what?
 
We can easily say that Juan Guaido is well prepared for his task. But what is his task? I believe his task is simply to help overthrow an elected president, Maduro, and replace him with an unelected puppet of the US. He was trained for this job at the George Washington University in Washington, DC, and at other venues as well.
 
The really relevant question we should be asking ourselves is this: Does Venezuela need a US puppet or does it need an independent leader who is concerned about the interests of the Venezuelan people?
 
It seems that the concept of “sovereignty” has been ignored throughout the Western world, and this is due to the fact that the US media, political, business and banking classes dominate the thinking of the entire West, including Latin America.
 
The US, through agencies like the CIA and CIA spinoffs like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) and USAID, for example, has brought ruinous and violent coups to countries throughout the world.
 
The example of Ukraine is instructional. Various NGOs from the US and its allies, such as the NED, USAID, a foundation of George Soros, European officials, US Senator John McCain, and representatives of the State Department, notably Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, went to Kiev in 2014 and started a violent illegal coup against a democratically elected president. After they had succeeded in removing this legitimate president from power, in violation of the Ukrainian constitution and the UN charter, Nuland personally chose the next president, a US puppet named Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
 
Before 2014, Ukraine had had good relations with Russia, which built factories that hired Ukrainians, giving them decent salaries. Russia also had laid a gas pipeline through Ukraine that enabled the country to buy cheap gas and earn money from the gas transit to Western Europe.
 
Thanks to the above-described US meddling and to the anti-Russian propaganda from the US, Ukraine turned against Russia, refused to pay for the gas supplied from Russia and slandered Russia and its government in its media. The Ukraine military and paramilitaries including fascist groups whose predecessors had cooperated with Hitler in the Third Reich, attacked and shelled the Donbass region that refused to be part of the new puppet government. New laws were drafted to ban the use of Russian in regions where that language was dominant, which led to Crimea breaking away and acceding to Russia. Eventually, Russia became disgusted with these dirty dealings and stopped supplying the gas. Ukraine soon became one of the most corrupt states in Europe. Its refusal to cooperate with Russia eventually led to an economic crisis, because neither the US nor Western Europe kept their promises to help the country restore its economy. Today’s Ukrainian government can be unequivocally called a fraud upon the Ukrainian people, of whom, according to the Atlantic Council, only 5 or 6% are prepared to vote for him in the upcoming elections.
 
In 2018, the IMF reported that Ukraine had become the poorest country in Europe.
 
That is the consequence of US-instigated regime change, the disastrous management by US-approved officials and an irrational hatred of Russia that spread throughout Western Ukraine (the East is pro-Russian and is often shelled by the Ukrainian army, killing many civilians and destroying their homes).
 
I said that Juan Guaido is a US puppet. He was trained in the US to organize anti-government demonstrations and to sabotage legitimate governments on behalf of the US.
 
If Venezuela wants to follow the example of Ukraine, as described above, then they may well suffer the same fate as Ukraine. Maduro is not perfect, but there is something the Venezuelans need to know, and that is, that the Chinese and Russians have both signed important contracts with Venezuela to build oil refineries and have lent billions of dollars to Venezuela as the first steps toward lifting the country out of poverty. These contracts were supposed to go into effect soon, but the US, learning of this, decided to intervene so that Venezuela could not benefit from them. The US elites have also spread strong propaganda against the current Venezuelan government and against China and Russia. But those countries are not like the US, which has killed millions of civilians in illegal, genocidal wars all over the world since WW II and has destroyed legitimate governments, replacing them with governments loyal to the US but working against the interests of the people. As a consequence of this US aggression, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Kosovo, Afghanistan and other regions have been plunged into chaos, terrorism and poverty. Not one of these countries has benefitted one iota from US “help.” If Venezuela actually benefitted from the proposed US intervention, it would be the first one ever.
 
So if the person who wrote this question wants to have politicians who are prepared to work for the people, then these politicians must be prepared to oppose the malicious actions of US agents who want to steal their resources, as John Bolton admitted the US wants to do.
 
Here is an important analysis of Juan Guaidó and his training to betray his people:

I've watched, questioned, and studied "U.S. intervention" all my life, since about ten, when I learned of the attack on the USS Liberty, the attack, and then nothing else.
There has been no real information available to "the American People" regarding it, until the internet began to produce volumes of history, previously well hidden. Most Americans have believed in the "good intent" of ourselves, represented in government, and it is only the "critical", who have discovered there is none of this in any "U.S. action", only the effort to maintain our hegemony.
It is crucial for the Venezuelans to keep mindful of the fact, the U.S. cut off their Nation from over 80 billion of their own money, while we have applied sanctions, and this, only this, is the cause of their impoverishment.
I don't expect any politician to be righteous, perfect, just finding frequent honesty, is something to be lauded, however the U.S. has actively worked to break every socialist nation, not because they are evil, but in my own opinion, to keep alive the notion, "it's well proven socialism won't work", when the fact is, it has worked, many times, with many societies, when it fits their culture.
The U.S. is imposing on Venezuela, solely because of the large investments of Russia and China, and our effort to prevent their raising the world to a multi-polar one, and breaking our "dollar hegemony".
As a well read American, I know our story, how we got here, why, and I know we must stop, because "nothing human goes on forever", and because a "Ponzi scheme" has to run out of new suckers, eventually.
I pray both Russia and China go all the way, protecting their investments, and I hope to see the U.N. have to deal with the criminal way the west has prevented any Nation access to its own assets, any time the U.S. chooses against.
We not only are signatory to treaties, establishing "economic warfare as Unlawful war", we wrote the law of war, as the primary in closing the last world war.
These Nations need to get their politicians educated, and knowledgeable about economics, and political policy, however they can't afford to believe in our ways, our two faced outlook.
"Deep State" knows well, how deep the debt truly is, and the impossibility to do anything, without acknowledging it, and then having to undo all its done, because all the gold seized in 33, is gone, won't be back, and only profit from "value added" can rebuild a dead, assassinated economy, deliberately done on fool's notions.
We have pursued endless war, solely to avoid confronting the truth of having "taxed the trading world, lived well above our means, and still chose to operate in ever deeper debt".
We foisted this on the world, much like "how to cook a frog". If one tosses a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will leap out with great vigor, but put him in the pot, cool, comfortable, and raise the temperature slowly, and by the time he realizes his legs are too stiff, he's already half-cooked.
The world is paying a high cost to return to gold, but it is clear to some, there is no other way that is certain, and there will always be another empire, if allowed.
We, America, wish to be part, but most Americans are befuddled, believe what the t.v. says, and "gotta keep the world safe for democracy", except in the Ukraine, and Venezuela.
If we join the world in gold, we end our "free ride", our ability to tax world trade by inflation, and yet, we, "The People" will realize again, the value of capitalism, experiencing "compound growth" personally, and our Nation would have capital to put in infrastructure, and we could grow, as we once did.
The problem is, this ends the "fascist state", the government which has ruled with an iron fist, since our first turning from truth in reading our constitution, and restoring "British common law" to "corporate law", something our constitution denied, entirely.
Ultimately, gold empowers people, while fiat currency, empowers empires, Kings, and "law of the jungle". It is truly a war of good versus evil, and some few of us know our country is on the side of evil.
I fear "our best hope" is that, if we do enter Venezuela, it will prove to be "the bridge too far", and cause our beginning collapse. I would rather see our government accept it has failed, and choose to remain relevant, even if subordinate, however few "leaders" are ever able to acknowledge failure, and be honorable followers.
If we chose gold, we could be out of debt within a decade, I believe, perhaps two at the most, but we have twenty times the debt we had 15 years ago, because we don't even service our debt, and the interest rolls over into the principle, we are "anti-capitalists" dissecting our nation's infrastructure, watching it fail, and sweeping away the debris, making bets on the next bit to fall.
We, America, have to choose to be Sovereign again, or we will watch this government fac
