Pence to announce "clear actions" on Venezuela after deadly weekend clashes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After a weekend of clashes at Venezuela's borders with Colombia and Brazil that left two people dead and hundreds injured, Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Bogota on Monday to announce "clear actions" in response to the growing humanitarian crisis in the region, according to a senior administration official.

Pence is expected to make remarks in Bogotá at a meeting of leaders of the Lima Group, a coalition of more than a dozen nations mostly from Latin America. He will also hold his first in-person meeting with Juan Guaidó, the newly recognized interim president. Pence is expected to voice "resolute support" for Guaidó, according to the official.

The U.S. and more than 50 other countries recognized Guaidó as the legitimate leader of Venezuela in January, after he secured the backing of opposition parties in the country's National Assembly, which he leads, to proclaim himself interim president.

Guaidó secretly traveled to Colombia in defiance of a travel ban imposed by embattled Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who derided Guaidó as a "puppet" of the United States before closing the country's border with Brazil and shutting down several crossings with Colombia.

1. This is why electing goddamn christofascist simpletons is bad for America. Ughhhhh

The last thing we need is a war in Venezuela.
The second to last thing we need is to prop up a Venezuelan who the whole country will see as an American puppet, and thus hate, because America has followed a pro-investor policy in Latin America that has got a lot of regular people killed.
