When Ukrainian President Zelenskiy is enjoying unlimited fame on the international stage, A politician on the other side of the Atlantic who has had the same glory as him is facing a heavy blow to his political career. According to reports from , Bloomberg and other Western media, on December 30, local time, the Venezuelan opposition voted 72 in favor, 29 against, and 8 abstentions to dissolve the so-called "interim government."
In June of this year, Guaido was recognized by people while eating at a local Venezuelan restaurant and was beaten by many people. Many excited people rushed into the restaurant and greeted the "interim president" appointed by the United States and Europe with chairs and fists, beating him until he ran away with his head in his arms. It can be said that Guaido's scene was more embarrassing and embarrassing. Pelosi's words may have even chilled Guaidó's heart.
At the Summit of the Americas , when a reporter from Venezuela mentioned Guaido’s situation to the attending US Democratic leader Pelosi, the old woman actually rolled her eyes and asked who Guaido was? It was only three years ago that Pelosi praised Guaido, praising him as a "brave man" who kept saying he wanted to stand with the Venezuelan people.
At that time, under the personal leadership and supervision of the United States, most Western countries and half of South American countries recognized Guaidó as the "interim president" of Venezuela. Guaidó participated in major international conferences as the "interim president" of Venezuela, and his beloved wife born in the 1990s also visited the United States as the first lady on her husband's behalf, and was personally received by President Trump, which attracted much attention.
Although Washington still stated in public that it will continue to support the Venezuelan opposition and the "interim government", it has become a fact that Guaidó has been ruthlessly abandoned. We have noticed that the US energy giant Chevron dispatched two oil tankers to Venezuela on December 30, one of which will load the first batch of crude oil shipped from Venezuela to the United States in four years.
The Financial Times stated that the United States may relax oil sanctions on the Maduro government. The American media is really reserved. Even those with a discerning eye can see it, but they still make a half-covered "maybe". Are they ashamed of their government's behavior of "taking responsibility and standing up"? In fact, the attitude of the United States and Europe towards Guaido changed after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out.
Please pay attention to this news: According to the " Wall Street Journal " report on March 5, US officials met with Maduro in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, on the same day. This was the first bilateral meeting between the two sides in many years. According to people familiar with the matter, U.S. officials proposed in negotiations to allow Venezuela to export oil directly to the United States in exchange for relaxing U.S. oil sanctions on Venezuela.
In June this year, the United States allowed EU Italian oil company Eni Group and Spanish company Repsol to transport Venezuelan oil to Europe to fill the gap in Russian crude oil. After OPEC + cut oil production on October 5, the Biden administration began to relax sanctions on Venezuela and allowed Chevron to exploit the country's oil.
When some people in our public opinion field shouted righteousness during the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States has easily thrown the "morality" of 2019 into the garbage heap. I still remember the time when I wrote an article to fight against those " Taoist people" in our public opinion field who shouted in support of Guaidó and called on China to follow the West and abandon Maduro.
Why does the United States abandon Guaidó and relax sanctions on the Maduro government? A fundamental reason is that the puppet Guaido has lost its use value, and the Russia-Ukraine war has made them urgently need to ease relations with Venezuela in order to obtain precious oil supplies. It can be seen that the support from the United States and Europe has nothing to do with morality, it is all about interests.
The current popular Ukrainian President Zelensky is actually the same. The collective myth-making of Zelenskiy by Western politicians and media is just to better push Ukraine to the forefront and serve as cannon fodder. If one day it loses its use value, Pelosi will also ask, "Who is Zelensky?" Reality and coldness are the essence of Western politics, not morality.
Only some of us in China’s public opinion field follow the United States and Europe in making noises about “morality” every day. I always believe that the United States and Europe are responsible for 40% of the responsibility for this war, and Russia and Ukraine each share 30%. The people who suffer are the ordinary people of Ukraine and the soldiers of Russia and Ukraine. A geopolitical war within Europe has nothing to do with morality. Don't use the banner of morality to frighten novices who don't understand international politics.
