Juan Guaido Quotes
I would like to be clear about the situation in Venezuela: Mr. Maduro's re-election on May 20, 2018, was illegitimate, as has since been acknowledged by a large part of the international community.
Guaidó, Juan. "Venezuelans, Strength Is in Unity." The New York Times, The New York Times Company, 30 Jan. 2019, p. A23.
He had been jailed by the corrupt dictator Diaz but escaped to the United States, where with this Declaration, the Mexican Revolution was triggered.
This has been true when U. S. policy was too intimately supportive of fascist dictators running repressive governments. When change finally takes place, there has been much resentment against America for their earlier support. Greece, Egypt, South Vietnam, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, and Argentina are all examples where we did pay a price.
The Republican Presidential Candidate in the Election of 2016, Donal;d Trump, when with only a few weeks to go before Election Day, and the polls indicated that he was substantially behind, began to give speeches like this one that included many statements that the Election was rigged against him. He presented no evidence at all, and even could not specify who was doing the rigging or how they were doing it. However, many of his followers, who tend to believe many political conspiracy theories, started to make plans for continual action after the election if Trump[ loses. For some unstable followers—all candidates for President have some—they were already planning methods of resisting if Hillary Clinton should win. To make matters worse Trump had encouraged his supporters to take extra legal action to prevent Hillary Clinton from destroying the country as they ave known it. He also announced that he would not necessarily accept the election results if Clinton won. He even threatened to have her jailed when he won the Presidency. Chertoff, a fellow Republican, was very familiar with unstable people and their oft times dangerous behavior to “protect” them, their family and the nation from some conspiracy or another. Chertoff (See Quotation 643701) and many other Republican leaders tried to persuade Clinton to refrain from such demography, but Trump was one of those people who tended not to listen to advisors or colleagues. He continued on his dangerous rhetorical path.
This was unfortuantely true. At various stages of American History, we have sided with some terrible dictators and overlooked their gross human rights violations, war crimes and aggressions, on the theory that the enemy of my enemy is to be supported.
