Another lesson in History unfolding
Kllling fileds : *Venusuala*
For those who had not followed history and the evolution in international political post WW2 , here is a repeat of the forces that controlled several nations progress.
*Venezuela's political history* is defined by periods of military rule and autocratic dictatorships, punctuated by a relatively stable and democratic era ( early 60's to eightees) and more recently, a shift toward increasing authoritarianism/ dictatorship, under Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro.
Anti-government protests have flared up and hundreds of people have been arrested by the security forces, which remain loyal to Maduro.
The US has intrests in oil and so are Europe and some other Latin American countries. Plus, the US is entangled in the Drug business and crime.
They propped up Mr Guaido to seize control but the dictator stopped that. Then lawmaker María Corina became popular among the opposition.
The US and others propped her up
She was banned by the dictator, from holding public office.
She has now thrown her weight behind one González.
She was given the noble peace price in this month. ( Trump wanted it but agreed as US wanted to prop her up) .She dedicated the price to Trump!
The US and Europe continues to fund the unrest and are trying to overthrow Madoro and ( like they did in Syria, Iraq, Zelensky in Ukraine etc) put Maria or someone as the head. So that they can control Latin American trade etc.
Either way Venusualans will suffer. No one allows or wants them to dictate their own fate.
The history of the world after WW2 is repeated here too.
Now a pivot!
Here is a hypothetical case :.Trump and others dislike Modi for several reasons. Domestically people ( Non bhakts) are worried about Modis dictatorial regime. Now, if Modi increasingly stops democratic processes and ensures he or RSS control the nation, there will be a crises and people will find ways to prevent that. The US and others will assist such dissent( not because they like democracy but they want someone who they can control and use against China and Russia).
However, India is different and people , the huge middle class and above, only care for themself. Democracy etc is not on their radar. Religion probably is. But that only fuels both sides.
So the situation may not become chaotic and bad. But still, this is what happens when weak nations , divided by religion or economic barriers, become vulnerable to exploitation. Bharat's history is replete with this.
Or are we too condemed to repeat history?
Good read. Though I am not in to understanding of history this one put plain and straight was good to read and understand.
