Secretary Mike Pompeo has announced that he will travel to Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Colombia. His trip to South America is a step in the right direction, as Ana Quintana wrote: The four countries Pompeo will visit this week are leading international efforts against Maduro's dictatorship. The four countries Pompeo will visit this week are leading international efforts against Maduro's dictatorship. In the history of Latin America, this sort of cooperation and consensus is unprecedented.
There is symbolism attached to the trip as well. Three of the four countries — Chile, Paraguay, and Peru — have known oppression firsthand. All were formerly governed by dictatorships and are now democracies. The State Department is highlighting how their democratic transitions can serve as an example for a post-Maduro Venezuela.............
Also, these four countries have serious leadership. During the Obama years, Latin America never received the attention it deserved. The Obama administration was only interested in "Latinos" who wanted to walk into the U.S. illegally. It's nice to see that the Trump administration is supporting democracies and also standing up to Maduro.
Good move and another demonstration that Secretary Pompeo was a brilliant choice..............

My Take - One thing missing from this analysis. These leaders are finally coming to the correct understanding that if they really want to create a stable economy that will create a stable social order, they need the United States. The main problem in all these countries is the undying social paradigm for immense government corruption and a belief in socialism. They really need to educate their citizens. But so does the U.S. The U.S. needs to start purging America's universities of their leftist insanity, or we're going to end up like Venezuela, or have a civil war. Neither is unacceptable, but if we continue down the road we're traveling, one or both is inevitable.
