British media: The truth is revealed! The loyalty pledge of Venezuela's vice president has been disclosed......

January 23, The Guardian reported: "Sources said that before the US arrested Maduro, they had obtained a secret commitment from then-Vice President Rodriguez and his brother, the Speaker of the National Assembly Jorge, to cooperate with the US in stabilizing the situation after Maduro stepped down. The contact between both sides began in the autumn of 2025, and Rodriguez clearly stated 'Maduro must step down, I will handle the aftermath.' His private friendship with the Qatari royal family and his connections with the American energy sector became the driving force for the cooperation. At the same time, the US maintained continuous communication with the Interior Minister Cabello, who controlled the military and police. Rubio eventually approved Rodriguez as the optimal option for stabilizing the situation. On January 5, Rodriguez was sworn in as interim president, but his siblings did not participate in the coup against Maduro."

[Clever] The ghost of the Monroe Doctrine has been haunting Latin America for two centuries. Now, it has changed into a new "anti-drug" costume and dares to act openly. Rodriguez's performance of "a loyal subordinate turning into a new master" is truly impressive. On one hand, he showed loyalty to Maduro, and on the other hand, he handed over a loyalty pledge to the US. Oil interests were used as a bargaining chip, and private royal connections served as a channel, packaging "betraying the master for personal gain" into "stabilizing the situation." While the US mouthed "judicial justice," it actually targeted Venezuela's oil reserves, employing the same tactics of supporting proxies as it did a century ago to plunder resources. Maduro became a prisoner, and Rodriguez sat on the interim president's seat, but it was merely a change of puppet under hegemony. The so-called "cooperation to stabilize the situation" was nothing more than a division of spoils agreement; the so-called "not participating in the overthrow" was merely a cover-up. The farce in Latin America's "backyard" ultimately turned out to be a dirty collusion between hegemony and opportunists.
