Maduro thugs are stealing the election in Venezuela. This is the ultimate test for Harris-Biden administration that always let the evil win.
The Biden administration’s decision to lift sanctions on Venezuelan oil, ostensibly in exchange for hollow promises of free elections from the Maduro regime, epitomizes a misguided and weak foreign policy approach. This move, echoing the failed appeasement strategies with Iran, highlights a troubling pattern of rewarding bad actors with concessions while receiving little in return. By easing economic pressures on Maduro, the administration has effectively bolstered an authoritarian regime known for its brutal repression and manipulation of democratic processes.
Maduro’s assurances of fair elections are nothing more than a facade, a cynical ploy to gain international legitimacy while continuing to consolidate power through intimidation and electoral fraud. The administration’s naivety in accepting these promises not only undermines the plight of the Venezuelan people, who continue to suffer under a despotic regime, but also signals a dangerous precedent to other authoritarian leaders worldwide. It suggests that the United States is willing to overlook gross human rights violations and democratic subversion for the sake of diplomatic expediency.
This ill-advised policy mirrors the administration’s dealings with Iran, where sanctions were lifted in exchange for nominal compliance with nuclear agreements, despite ongoing support for terrorism and regional destabilization by the Iranian regime. These actions demonstrate a profound failure to understand the nature of these regimes and a dangerous willingness to compromise core democratic values for superficial and unreliable commitments.
The Biden administration’s approach is not only ineffective but emboldens oppressive regimes, making a mockery of its stated commitment to democracy and human rights. By allowing dictators like Maduro to escape the consequences of their actions, the administration is complicit in the continued suffering of the Venezuelan people and the erosion of democratic norms. This is not just a failure of policy; it is a betrayal of the fundamental principles that should guide American foreign policy.
