The representative of the Maduro government responded to the assemblage and the US proposal;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The &#8216;contact group&#8217; you&#8217;re proposing is completely useless and unnecessary,&#8221; Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez fumed at a meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Cancun, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only way you could impose it would be to send in your Marines &#8212; who would meet with a crushing response from Venezuela if they dared make such a misstep.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that Americans would be receptive to such a proposal to send troops to Venezuela, Marines or otherwise. The response from Ms. Rodriguez is just whistling past the graveyard. The Maduro government is perfectly happy to let more Venezuelans die either from murder or starvation to maintain their grip on Venezuela and to force Communism down the throats of the people there and line their own pockets. An American military response would just be playing to hopes that he can blame the crisis there on American imperialism. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan tried to influence support for a &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;Send in your Marines&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=72972\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Send in your Marines&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72972\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
