The hypocrisy
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-47109380
The US may not have been the primary cause of the shortages but it contributed by not permitting credit access.
However apparently what will happen is that Gaido will do a Gaza aid stunt…convoys will be sent to the border where the authorities will refuse to allow it in. While America supported Israel denying Palestinians aid-shipments, I am sure their compliant media will highlight Maduro turning it away as the actions of a cruel tyrant. As usual when the American public see the TV images, they will have the knee jerk reaction that is expected. It will provide the hawks with any “humanitarian” motive required for a more forceful intervention that they might think necessary, perhaps an American military escort for the trucks.
Once again USAID is shown for the partisan puppet it is with no political independence. The US media will not explain why other aid/charity NGOs will not touch such an action with a barge-pole.
I also notice a number of discrepancies in the BBC graphic – Mexico, Uruguay, New Zealand, expressing wish for negotiations
