There was an agreement, the Venezuelan government accepted to send the US its oil exports and that the US would control its commercialization. In light of this agreement the military deployment in the Caribbean ended. This agreement is in a sense even worse than a naval blockade, as the Venezuelan government is accepting conditions which undermine Venezuelan sovereignty, violate the Venezuelan Constitution and laws, etc. There has been no attempt by the Venezuelan government to break this a agreement. If what is implied is that a blockade could be reinstated if the agreement Delcy Rodríguez and Trump have ceases to be implemented, then you are talking about a potential blockade, the capacity of the US to go back to previous pressure mechanisms, previous to the agreement now in force. That capacity exists, but there is no blockade right now. In fact sanctions against Delcy Rodríguez have been lifted. You can't ignore the pact of subservience.
Not all governments capitulate like the Venezuelan government has, with Delcy Rodríguez even calling Trump "a friend". The Cuban government has not done this, neither has the Iranian or Yemeni governments. There are other governments which have not capitulated completely to imperialist pressure. Look at the historical examples and you will see how exceptional the Venezuelan total capitulation is. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
