“It would be naive to think that after this attack on Venezuela, the path is not being paved for other possible incursions in the region,” declared analyst Ramiro Escobar, a specialist in International Relations.

He specified that this frame opened up after the attack on Venezuela will have an impact on the political processes of Latin America and, in the case of Peru, will be subject to interference from the Donald Trump regime.

“We are going to have elections in April, and the imprint, the influence of Trump, will clearly be felt in them,” he commented, something that other analysts had already predicted after the open interference of the US president himself in the elections in Honduras.

For his part, analyst Juan de la Puente, a critic of the Venezuelan government like Escobar, said that, regardless, “International Law exist”, prohibiting the use of force and enshrining national sovereignty,” Washington has broken up.

He added that “Trump is not a democrat, nor does he aspire to be one,” and is dragging America back to the 1950s, while part of the region applauds.

With a touch of sarcasm, he asked if, after the attack, the colonial-minded sector of Latin America had finally realized that “Maduro fell but not his regime, that the United States is interested in oil and not democracy, and that this is more like Iraq and the (lie) of ‘weapons of mass destruction.'”

Meanwhile, Roberto Sanchez, one of Peru’s left-wing presidential candidates, challenged the other candidates to speak out “against the unacceptable imperial arrogance.”
