DID YOU NOTICE THIS?“I am against too much interference in the Venezuelan process”
Digression: Very obviously he is okay with some interference just not too much of it! So how much interference is acceptable to Lula? Who defines too much interference? Lula keeps looking worse and worse. Digression ended
I was ranting earlier, this year, about Lula and Petro working with the Biden admin as intermediaries. Maybe the CIA did try to overthrow Lula back in 2023, as speculated? They’ve been busy in Venezuela, lately.FYI, Lula denounced the SMO back in April 2023.

The governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, we congratulate and express our solidarity with the Venezuelan people that went massively to the polls on July 28 to define their own future.

A GROUP of advisors from the United States Army, who are part of the first Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB), have been deployed to Guyana to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and provide leadership training to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).
On Thursday evening, both nations published the “Joint Declaration of Argyle for Peace Between Guyana and Venezuela.”* The eleven-point document establishes that neither nation will threaten the use of force against the other, that both committed to “resolving controversies in accordance with international law” and to “refrain[ing] from escalating any conflict.”
