“El papel de Cuba en la usurpación de la democracia y el fomento de la represión en Venezuela es claro. Es por eso que los EE.UU continuarán ajustando las restricciones financieras a los servicios militares y de inteligencia de Cuba. Las democracias de la región deben condenar al régimen cubano.”
Un bloqueo naval es una forma de incrementar las sanciones y es razonable que podría gozar del apoyo de la actual coalición internacional democrática. Al mismo tiempo, es posible que, si las sanciones generaron deserciones, un bloqueo naval podría multiplicarlas. Los bloqueos navales han sido históricamente efectivos.
In Venezuela, the dictatorship is exhausting its last resources, its playing its last pawns, and is trekking towards its unavoidable end. The question remains, however, as to how long that end will take to arrive and what must be done to speed it up and for it to represent a true change for the reconstruction of a society and a state devastated by the intervention of transnational organized crime. In a confrontation, such as the one Venezuelan people are enduring, victory is achieved by the aggregate of one’s own correct decisions and the incorrect decisions taken by the enemy.
And while Lagerfeld the revered genius of sophistication and grace destroyed the revolutionary myth, Mr Raul Castro deceit himself thinking that the Chanel visit was yet another demonstration of the superiority of revolutionary principles over degenerated market democracies. His people on the streets and in the balconies of the scruffy neighborhood harboring Paseo del Prado had other thoughts.
En Venezuela la dictadura está agotando sus últimos recursos, está jugando sus últimas fichas y recorre el inevitable rumbo a su final. Sin embargo la cuestión es el tiempo en que llegará ese final y lo que debería hacerse para que sea mas rápido y represente un cambio de verdad para la reconstrucción de una sociedad y un país devastados por la intervención de la delincuencia organizada. En una confrontación como la que libra el pueblo venezolano la victoria se logra por la suma de los aciertos propios con los errores del enemigo

El Grupo de Lima ha renunciado al uso de la fuerza para salvar a los venezolanos de la barbarie del régimen. Maduro está feliz. Esa declaración le resta credibilidad al Grupo. Por eso fue un error que el Grupo de Lima renunciara al uso de la fuerza.
The basic element of Castroist Chavist dictatorships is the supplanting of policies and politics by crime as a “group of Transnational Organized Crime”. Everything done by Castroist Chavist governments constitutes a crime, nothing is political. Its control over the States and political positions they have is a major façade of the most important and unprecedented criminal organization known to date. One other source of Castroist Chavist’s revenue is narcotics’ trafficking that now has Venezuela with Chavez and Maduro, and Bolivia with Evo Morales, identified as narco-states,
The best way to have dealt with this mind-blowing event would have been to open the doors of Venezuela to humanitarian aid thereby destroying the concert’s leit motif. The course of action taken of enhancing violence will only serve the purpose of erasing the liquid essence of modernity to craft a new totem enhancing the ultimate character of the Venezuelan quest for freedom: that of a heroic civic society that inscribed in blood the word democracy.
