The US once again brought out its “democracy and human rights” talking points in an attempt to install opposition leader Edmundo González as president. While this effort failed, they will not stop in attempts to loot the country’s resources.
I’m sure the US will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening, but so far they haven’t even been able to destabilize Venezuela. And it’s not for lack of trying. It’s also important to keep in mind that destabilization is primarily done through economic means, and that’s where BRICS becomes so important. As long as these countries are stable economically, it becomes difficult to sow unrest. We don’t know how this all plays out of course, but I think there’s good chance the US will continue losing its grip on Latin America going forward.

This sort of stuff has been going on since before Chavez though, and Venezuela is arguably stronger than ever today.
