US President-elect Donald Trump is expected to tap Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state and Rep. Michael Waltz as national security adviser, The New York Times reported Monday, pushing the emergent cabinet in a hawkish, pro-Israel direction.

Knowing what I know about my own Administration’s attempt to unseat Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2002, I was not surprised when the effort was recently renewed by the Trump Administration, particularly when such arch-defenders of Latin American rights as Elliott Abrams, Marco Rubio, and Rick Scott – not to mention John Bolton – began to appear on the White House payroll.
In Kenntnis dessen, was ich über den Versuch meiner eigenen Regierung weiß, den venezolanischen Präsidenten Hugo Chavez im Jahr 2002 aus dem Amt zu werfen, war ich nicht überrascht, als die Trump-Administration die Bemühungen kürzlich erneuerte, insbesondere als solche Erzverteidiger lateinamerikanischer Rechte wie Elliott Abrams, Marco Rubio und Rick Scott – ganz zu schweigen von John Bolton – begannen, auf der Gehaltsliste des Weißen Hauses aufzutauchen.
Early in the morning as the situation unfolded in the capital city of Caracas, Trump, Rubio, Bolton, Abrams, Pompeo in blatant violation of law gloated in support of the attempted coup. But the Democratic establishment didn‘t stay behind expressing the same sort of comments and sentiments against the democratically and legitimate government of Venezuela.
Wie in den letzten Jahren der 80er und den frühen 90er Jahren glauben sie wieder an den Dominoeffekt: Wenn Venezuela fällt, fällt Nicaragua, und natürlich wird am Ende auch Kuba an der Reihe sein.

‚How did Marco Rubio know that backup generators had failed? At that time, no one knew that,‘ the Bolivarian government official asked.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., posted a tweet on Sunday that seemed to argue for embattled Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to meet the same violent fate as former Libyan Prime Minister Muammar Gaddafi.
The tweet, which shows a bloodied Gaddafi shortly before he was murdered in a coup d‘etat, is especially notable within the context of Rubio‘s other recent tweets on American foreign policy toward Venezuela.

Wenn die Musiker wirklich die Nöte des venezolanischen Volkes lindern wollten, müssten sie dafür singen, dass die US-Regierung die Sanktionen gegen Caracas aufhebt und das venezolanische Volk seine Probleme zu Hause ohne Einmischung von außen löst. Hundert Millionen Dollar, sagt Branson, dass sie sammeln werden? Viel mehr hätte das venezolanische Volk zur Verfügung, würde die Auswirkung der US-Sanktionen rückgängig gemacht, deren Kosten auf 38 Milliarden Dollar geschätzt werden, so Angaben des privaten Fernsehsenders Globovisión.
(29.1.2019) Brazil, Rubio argued, can be a „force multiplier“ in addressing the crisis in Venezuela.
Rubio suggested that the US should support Brazil‘s ascension to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and its space capabilities.
The US, Rubio said, should capitalize on Brazil‘s new right-wing government, saying previous leftist governments in the country „undermined“ its economic and political stability.
Senator Rubio has close political ties with the Colombian right wing, and has been one of the main voices in the U.S. establishment calling for pressure on Venezuela….
