U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Admits Defeat!<\/strong><\/p>\n

From CNN, February 24, 2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJake Tapper<\/strong>: [\u2026it seems as though Maduro\u2019s not going anywhere near this [U.S.] plan, that he\u2019s holding onto power, and the military seems to be staying with him, at least the military leaders.<\/p>\n

SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong>\u00a0It always seems that way until the day it doesn\u2019t. I remember when I was a young soldier patrolling the then-East German border. No one predicted it on that day in 1989 that that wall would come crumbling down. Predictions are difficult. Picking exact days are difficult. I am confident that the Venezuelan people will ensure that Maduro\u2019s days are numbered.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Montreal, I proudly say congratulations to the Venezuelan people, the Bolivarian armed forces and the civil-military union!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Victory for the Bolivarian Revolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a defeat for the US Empire and those who call out the Maduro government as being \u201cauthoritarian,\u201d a \u201cdictatorship\u201d and having been elected on a \u201cdubious\u201d basis or illegally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is this very \u201cauthoritarian\u201d civil-military union that defended Venezuelan democracy and sovereignty. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the fight is not over for those of us, all over the world, who support Nicol\u00e1s Maduro as the only legally-elected president and oppose all US interference whether through \u201chumanitarian aid\u201d or more overt military intervention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomorrow Monday February 25, the Lima Group is meeting to plan new actions. The US will be there and so will one of its main allies, Canada, whom Pompeo praised three times in the above-cited interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n
