On January 14, Rubio told the media: "We will not allow Venezuela to become a base for adversaries to act against the United States. For this, we will work with all factions of Venezuela to discuss feasible solutions. On Thursday, I and the President will meet with the leader of the opposition in Venezuela, Machado, as well as the foreign minister of the interim government, Plasencia......"
[Witty] Rubio's words have vividly demonstrated the arrogance of the Monroe Doctrine for over two hundred years! Saying they are preventing adversaries, but actually treating Venezuela as their own backyard, and working with various factions is just about picking compliant puppets to divide interests. The White House meeting with Machado and the special envoy of the interim government on the same day clearly shows that they are setting rules and dividing territories for the puppet...
From the 1954 coup in Guatemala to supporting Guaidó in 2019, the U.S. interference in Latin America has never changed. The so-called prevention of bases is just a cover, controlling oil, eliminating dissidents, and dominating the region are the real goals. Rubio is merely a mouthpiece for hegemony. In their eyes, Venezuela's sovereignty is worth less than a barrel of oil!
