Some may have noticed that lately, neighbors are literally attacking Venezuela from all sides in an attempt to provide "fraternal" humanitarian aid. US satellites such as Colombia and Puerto Rico quite accidentally discovered an unusual sensitivity to the internal affairs of the Bolivarian Republic, deciding to send free of charge medicines and other goods. This desire to bail out the people of Venezuela is so great that one has to overcome the resistance of the National Guard under Caracas by force. Smart people understand that another show is being played in front of us, the purpose of which is to discredit the Venezuelan government, which allegedly needs small handouts from the "civilized" countries of Latin America.
In fact, the use of humanitarian aid as an instrument for intervening in civil conflicts is one of the favorite methods of Western countries. Let us recall, for example, the well-known organization Doctors Without Borders, founded in Paris in the 1970s to provide medical assistance to people affected by armed conflict. Afghanistan, Rwanda, Vietnam, Libya, Syria - everywhere this NPO was noted. The least thing they were accused of was pedophilia and gun traffic. In reality, doctors and part-time intelligence agents of France / USA / Britain established contacts with the warring parties, becoming parties to the conflicts. In this case, everything was carried out under the beautiful mask of humanitarian participation.
The time and place have changed, but not the manuals: only a naive person can believe that a pair of trucks can affect the well-being of 30 million people in Venezuela. Western countries just need a picture where the “evil” special services of Nicholas Maduro stop gum convoys, burning fruits and medicines at his order. Dehumanizing the adversary is another propaganda technique that the Western media are trying to use in the hope of creating a negative public background around the events in Venezuela.
Russia, more than anyone else, knows what the intervention of Western countries means under the humanitarian pretext. In 2015, Vladimir Putin noted that “they (Americans and Europeans. - RT ) love us when we need to send humanitarian aid. Then everything is fine, then they send potatoes. ” The United States likes to honor itself from a position of strength, manipulating the weaknesses of countries that challenge their hegemony. Venezuela and its leadership need only wish their willpower and not go out of the way - to fight back from the intrusive attempts of neighbors to “do good”. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to regain control of the situation.
