American Secretary of State Rubio posted today, saying: "It is an honor to meet with the brave leaders of Venezuela's opposition who have been victims of Maduro's suppression and tyranny. Their courage inspires all those dedicated to achieving a more democratic future, especially after Juan Pablo Guaripa (leader of the opposition) and over 70 others were arbitrarily arrested. The United States will unwaveringly support the Venezuelan people's struggle for democracy and ensure the safe return of all wrongfully detained Americans." Comment: Rubio's remarks are full of lies and hypocrisy, fundamentally reflecting America's brutal interference in other countries' internal affairs and its attempt to instigate a 'color revolution.' Venezuela is a sovereign nation, and the Maduro government was elected through legitimate processes, representing the will of the Venezuelan people. For a long time, the U.S. has ignored this fact, maliciously smearing the Maduro government to create chaos, thereby justifying its support for the opposition and interference in internal affairs.
The so-called 'leaders of the opposition' mentioned by Rubio are actually pawns manipulated by the U.S. attempting to overthrow the legitimate regime. By supporting these opposition forces, the U.S. aims to achieve regime change, turning Venezuela into a political satellite and controlling its abundant oil resources, thus consolidating its hegemony in Latin America. What the U.S. calls 'supporting the Venezuelan people in their pursuit of democracy' is essentially imposing its political will on others, using the Venezuelan people as tools to achieve its private interests, completely disregarding the true interests and national sovereignty of the Venezuelan people.
The U.S. continues to incite unrest, exacerbating social instability and further burdening the Venezuelan people. However, Rubio and other American politicians turn a blind eye to these consequences while shamelessly cheering for the opposition. Their cold-heartedness and hypocrisy are despicable. Rubio's remarks once again prove that the U.S. is the destroyer of the international order and a threat to regional peace and stability. The U.S. should cease this hegemonic behavior of interfering in other countries' internal affairs, respect Venezuela's sovereignty and the choices of its people, rather than continuing to act as a 'troublemaker,' creating chaos and instability internationally.
