...the last inn on the sergeant. The year 2026 began amazingly for the world. The American authorities kidnapped the socialist president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. They didn't "abuse," they kidnapped. And they request that Venezuelan oil resources be donated to them.
In Poland, the Atlanticists, the PiS and another groups responded most loudly to Maduro's abduction: a tasteful euphoria in which the tide gave them not only brakes, but full sphincter. In addition to an orgy of admiration over Maduro's kidnapping and demanding that now Donald American send commandos for Donald Polish, American reporters did not regret threatening – more or little accurately identified – pro-Russian environments. To make it clear that past is on their side, that the United States is the top power in the world, and that America will kick everyone they don't like, and that they, the Atlantists, will give mercy for faithfulness.
America is not the top power in the planet to deal with anyone she wants. At least from fresh developments in Venezuela, that is not the conclusion. Let us callback the past of utilizing American helicopters with commandos, for it does not give the impression that anyone who has become salt in the eye of Washington knows neither the day nor the hour.
After the muslim Revolution in Iran in the fall of 1979, Shiite militants captured United States embassy personnel in Tehran. In the spring of 1980, the U.S. Army sent commandos in helicopters to retrieve them. no of this worked out due to the fact that bad weather forced the commandos to reiterade, and earlier to an emergency landing and abandoning helicopters that captured the Iranian army. During the retreat, 1 of the helicopters collided with an aircraft of US Air Force and respective American soldiers were killed.
During their “stabilization mission” in Somalia, the Americans attempted to capture the opposition of the Somali leader, General Aidid. On 3 October 1993, they sent helicopters with commandos to the confederate part of the city of Mogadishu, in territory controlled by Aidida militias, with orders to kidnap 2 of the general's associates, so that thanks to their evidence they could find him himself. It was to be done quickly, surgically. However, it ended in a fifteen-hour conflict in which the Americans killed about a 1000 Somalis, but themselves suffered the top losses in humans since the Vietnam War. The targets were not captured, but the shock caused by photographs of the bodies of killed American soldiers dragged into the streets of Mogadishu prompted president Clinton to retreat troops from Somalia.
Finally, in 2011, the U.S. Army sent helicopters to Pakistan, from which commandos jumped and killed Usama ibn Ladina hiding in the country, in Poland due to the linguistic sloping of Anglo-Saxon media known as Osama bin Laden. The Americans were very boastful of this stunning success; they immediately started around their action with noisy propaganda. It was only after any time that they admitted that it was carried out for the cognition and cooperation of the Pakistan authorities. In another words, it would not have been successful if it had not been for the consent and assistance of the Pakistanis themselves.
The same can be said of the fresh incidental in Venezuela. It is improbable for Americans to be able to kidnap the president of this country from his territory without the support of interior agents. For thirteen years of his regulation Nicolás Maduro surely made any enemies in the country. According to all probability, Washington had secretly come to terms with the Venezuelan power camp or any crucial faction and offered us unknown benefits for the time being for “putting out” its head of state. This explanation does not contradict the fact that American soldiers killed many safety officers of the president during the attack – this information can be considered true. If, as I say, the Americans kidnapped Maduro in silence with another powers in Venezuela, it seems doubtful that they could bribe or turn his bodyguards. Venezuelan president surely chose his protection from the people most loyal to himself personally, due to the fact that that is what all leader, especially the authoritarian rule, does. Without aid from inside the U.S. chopper rally he would not be taken or ended up like in Iran or Somalia.
In conclusion, we have not witnessed any "failure of communism" by the United States, but above all the gameplay in the Venezuelan authorities, where the political strategy remains unchanged (and has nothing to do with communism). Polish Atlanticists could come to that conclusion on their own if they wanted a minute to reflect, alternatively of giving themselves a imagination of the American omnipotence or threatening their imaginary or real opponents with commandos in helicopters.
