Mexico is making a large contribution towards the prevention of civil war in Venezuela, by returning to long-established foreign policy tradition of neutrality, which the previous president had completely abandoned, says John Ackerman

Only us Congress, has the power to declare war against us enemies, Venezuela doesn't have enemies around the world, is not an hostile country, they're good and decent people, Venezuela has  business trade with us, on oil exports, Venezuela doesn't harbor and support terrorism they're open for business and trade, with all the countries who support openings for business trade and progress...

To clean the filth that's killing millions of people around the world, we must arrest those in power who wants to steal every country's oil and wealth. There will be no history left for the minority in our planet. Which country will be next to get invaded?

The US aids in the starvation of a people via sanctions, then to topple the government they use those starving people and offer food "aid" as a political weapon to help the coup? This is a very very SICK government.

I can't help wondering how the people in the countries siding with the USA would feel about the USA (or any other countries) deciding who their leader should be.

Just imagine if I took all your money, so you don't know how to buy your next meal.
And then I come, pity you, and generously extend to you a hot dog bun.
If you KNEW it was I who took your money... would you ACCEPT that offer? Would you even TRUST there's nothing wrong with the bun? Wouldn't you rather want to beat the shti out of me and get your money back?

Anyone that has brain in Mexico understands that if us menage to go trough coup d'etat than they are next. What us and eu are proposing is against rule of law and sovereignty and democracy principle. Eu Bruxelles birocracy must step down because they violated social contract and rule of law they must resign because they don't represent public intrest and are behaving like mobsters and don't have public support they should be jailed also for violation of laws. If there were referendum in eu about situation in Venezuela more than 75% of people in eu would be against Guaido and us attempt of regime change. Macron has support from less than 15% he is resposible for killing his own people and there should be immediate elections in France.

I'm American and I'm am ashamed of how my government treats the rest of the world. No one can stand up because of money and sanctions. This place is being run like a Mafia not a democracy. If I ever happen to run into John Bolton, he better put his hands up.

Obrador is a good man.  He won a decade before he took office but the US helped cheat him out of the Presidency he was elected to.  He knows how evil our government can be.

I wonder ... if it's so easy, affordable and 'reasonable' to send (so called) Humanitarian Aid to the people of Venezuela ... I wonder why there's so many starving and homeless people living in the USA ? Wouldn't it be better to solve their own domestic problems first ... charity begins at home and all ?

The humanitarian aid is Maslows triangle of Needs without a doubt.... FOOD/WATER is at the beginning of the NEEDS. They know people who are in great need will satisfy these basic needs first....FOOD/WATER at any cost!! This is what they are counting on....RUN to get these needs fulfilled....then these countries have the Venezuelans. A wolf in sheep’s clothes...BEWARE

I’m convinced that this need for the Venezuelan oil has everything to do with the financial collapse of the USA! The USA is broke and cannot continue to print money unilaterally forever. They know this and so does congress....they would eat their own!!! To survive

Was the president of Cuba 'Miguel Díaz-Canel, elected by Democracy or was he appointed from Washington DC?  Is he really a 'president' or the successor of 'dictator' Castro?  What is the position of López Obrador regarding communist Cuba? So far, Cubans are "illegals" in México.  Is López Obrador going to change that to favor his commie amigos?

It's all about OIL, Greed and Power  Mexico and Venezuela have a lot of crude oil, petroleum and gas. If Lopez Obrador is a nationalist like he claims, then he should nationalize the Mexican Oil (PEMEX) because it belongs to México and Mexicans, not to greedy and evil foreigners playing politics.

President Obrador, please sir, why not send 'Humanitarian Aid' through Panama or Bolivia or by way of a non-hostile state against Venezuela? Columbia is an ally of USA-Elliot Abrams, and as such, it is an aggressive nation against Venezuela's best interest. USA, Columbia, Brazil and the Lima group have essentially declared war against Venezuela

Obrador is smart! Because he knows if he supports the US led coup then it basically gives the green light for the US to do the same anywhere ... including Mexico. And that's what all the other S. American leaders (that support this coup) don't realize - a US led coup could be deployed against them - fools!
