Juan Guaidó and Mike Pence attend the Lima group conclave to exert maximum pressure on Maduro

(Correspondent) – The bloody repression of Maduro who blocked and burned the trucks with humanitarian aid attempting to leave Cúcuta reinforces the position of the White House hawks who are already preparing a warlike offensive against Venezuela's populist regime. Acting President Juan Guaidó and Vice President Mike Pence arrive in Bogotá to propose extreme measures to overthrow Maduro as a step prior to the democratic transition. There is not a single antecedent of American troops landing in Latin America and it is unlikely that Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile and Uruguay will endorse this controversial movement aimed at ban the Venezuelan regime. However, Guaidó does not rule out this tactic and badumes that the White House will have no problem preparing for this unprecedented game in the Southern Command Barracks.

Mike Pompeo is Secretary of State for Donald Trump. A few hours ago he was in the chain Fox, where he sent an unclbadified message to the populist government. "The days of Maduro are numbered, all options are on the table, we will do what is necessary for democracy to prevail in Venezuela.", Said Pompeo.

Before the statements of the Secretary of State, who has a conciliatory thought compared to Republican officials like Mauricio Claver, John Bolton and Eliott Abrams, the replica of Caracas did not wait. "Yesterday they only saw a little bit of what we are willing to do to defend the legitimate rights of Venezuela, "said Delcy Rodríguez, vice president of the Chavez regime.

And to close the circle that stifles world diplomacy for the moment, The Venezuelan ambbadador to the Lima group, Julio Borges, revealed the position that Guaidó now occupies before Maduro's illegal repression. with the volunteers who transported humanitarian aid to Caracas. "We will travel next Monday with President Juan Guaidó to the Lima group meeting for firm positions that imply an escalation of diplomatic, political, and use of force against the regime to block humanitarian badistance and generate violence without gifts at the border, "Borges said in a statement.

The Venezuelan regime has armed forces, vigilante groups, uncontrolled intelligence agents, Cuban advisers who have survived the American threat for decades, Russian experts who do not hesitate to hack the White House, Iranian technicians and millions of dollars granted by China. Maduro has a lot of firepower and little respect for human rights. That is to say: if he has to kill, he kills. As was the case on February 22 at the Venezuelan border with Brazil.

The United States is the largest and most sophisticated military power on the planet.. And the president Donald Trump is in charge. This means that he can ignore the basic concepts of democracy – arguing that the international system is in danger – repeats the fundamental mistakes of Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, and Nixon and turns Venezuela into a version of Vietnam by Latin America.

When the secret papers of the Pentagon, the CIA and the White House written in 2018 and 2019 will be declbadified, it will be possible to verify that the strategy of the humanitarian aid intended to pierce the resistance of Maduro was an intellectual creation of Claver and Abrams. These hawks are the result of a historical hypothesis and a resolute voluntarism.They thought that Venezuelans who do not have to eat would add thousands to the caravan that would drive Guaidó de Cúcuta to Caracas. Hunger gives way to terror and terror paralyzes simple people from real power. No need to read the history of Greece, just remember what Gaddafi did with the Libyans in the twenty-first century.

United States proposed the strategy, donated the first tons of food – via USAID – suggested that other countries do the same – Chile, for example – and pushed Guaidó in the center of the ring.

Maduro had prepared everything at the border and did not hesitate to hit, kill and destroy stay at the Miraflores Palace. Guaidó did not manage to cross the Cúcuta bridgeshis activists returned home very disappointed, and so far they had not heard a mea culpa from planners in Washington.

So, if it is concluded that the humanitarian aid operation failed, there is no doubt about the importance of the Lima group summit to contain the American hawks, to tone down the tone of Guaidó's warlike intentions and to explore other diplomatic mecha- nisms which serve to prevent Caracas from turning into Saigon. The Pentagon has more firepower than Maduro and his potential partners, but that does not mean that the populist leader stops when he faces the commando commandos of the South Command.

Until now, the democratic necessity of ending the Maduro regime has allowed the official participation of any multilateral organization dedicated to the preservation of the world order. The United Nations (UN) was paralyzed by the Russian veto, the European Union (EU) did not obtain unanimous support for recognizing Mr Guaidó as Acting President and Organization of American States (OAS) has its Secretary General Luis Almagro play hard against Maduro, but without the institutional unanimity of its 35 members.

In this context, Guaidó's democratic intentions have three possibilities: military invasion, continued international pressure or opening of a diplomatic negotiating table in the style of the cold war.

An armed operation against Maduro can provoke a tragedy. The traditional diplomatic channel did not allow the repression of the regime to be avoided. And a painting in the shadow of secret diplomacy has not yet been articulated by the parties to the conflict. The United States, China and Russia have solved many global problems behind the curtain, and the crisis in Venezuela could lead to a democratic transition approved by Washington, Beijing and Moscow.
A secret negotiation is preferable to an out-of-control conflict in Latin America. If Guaidó and Pence propose that the way of the force becomes Maduro, the group of Lima will fracture facing the UN, the OAS and the EU while Venezuelans continue to die of hunger and disease.
