Venezuela’s Maduro Could Meet the Same Fate as Manuel Noriega
Here on, whenever you see Diosdado saying that he will fight the U.S. if it enters Venezuela, remember the image of the placid and dejected Noriega years later asking for forgiveness for his crimes
Spanish – Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello have formally been blacklisted in the United States. They were designated as drug traffickers and drivers of international terrorism, along with several members of the Venezuelan regime.
This formal accusation, undoubtedly, opens the door to a new chapter in Donald Trump’s administration against the criminal tyranny of Nicolás Maduro. A few months ago, U.S. State Department officials warned that there was a plan to escalate pressure in Venezuela for about a year, and at the time, it was already halfway through. This raises the stakes and sends out a strong message: either you leave, or, there will be the use of force to deal with you
In the past, the United States has formally declared war on despotic leaders who use their nations to export drugs, terrorism, and illegal activities. Panama’s de facto dictator, Manuel Noriega, was accused in a Florida District Court, along with Pablo Escobar Gaviria and other members of Colombian drug cartels, of drug trafficking and other crimes. The then de facto dictator of Panama walked out with a machete in a massive televised demonstration, saying he would protect “Panamanian sovereignty” and declare war on the United States. The result was that on December 20, 1989, the U.S. army invaded Panama and, after a couple of days, captured the military leader, who spent the rest of his life confined in American, and later French, prisons, until he was extradited to Panama in his final years, where he died of cancer.
