So Biden policy today is exactly wrong. It will fail–to increase oil supplies noticeably, to keep oil prices down, and to get Venezuelans to go back home. It will succeed in making life easier for Nicolas Maduro and his regime, and it will show Venezuelans that the Biden administration is thinking only about our election and abandoning the policy of helping them regain their freedom. The day the Biden administration extends the general license is the day administration officials should just plain stop telling us how human rights is at the center of their foreign policy. Let’s hope that instead, White House and State Department officials realize that their policy of “incentivizing” better conduct by Maduro by lifting sanctions has failed completely. A policy of pressure on Maduro and solidarity with Venezuelan democrats, unlikely though it seems today, is still within reach. By Elliott Abrams. Full Text-> CouncilofForeignRelations

Venezuela’s autocratic leader Nicolás Maduro, who last year signed on to a road map for free and fair elections this year, has decisively broken with the agreement, using coercion and duplicity to silence critics and the opposition. The Biden administration vowed to reimpose sanctions if this happened. It has no choice but to make good on this threat. Editorial Board. Full Text -> The Washington Post

La provocación como estrategia https://onvenezuela.com/la-provocacion-como-estrategia%ef%bf%bc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=la-provocacion-como-estrategia%25ef%25bf%25bc Sat, 17 Sep 2022 18:35:00 +0000 https://onvenezuela.com/?p=16038

Carl Von Clausewitz, reconocido militar prusiano, una vez sentenció que «la guerra es la continuación de la política por otros medios». Esta aseveración es ilustrativa para comprender que la praxis política es una dinámica permanente de actores que luchan entre sí por la toma del poder. Por tanto, quien pretenda permanecer en el poder debe tener claridad de conocer al adversario y usar las estrategias necesarias para debilitarlo. De eso sabe muy bien los que han detentado las riendas del Estado venezolano por más de 23 años, gracias a la asesoría de expertos foráneos en estrategia militar a quienes pagan mucha suma de dinero. No es casual que han sido exitosos en pruebas comiciales, a pesar de haber condenado a la miseria a millones de venezolanos y ser minoría electoral. Están claros en el viejo axioma «divide y reinarás». Mientras su adversario luce desorientado, desunido y desconectado de los reales problemas sociales. Por Jesús Alberto Castillo.
