特朗普曾经最忠实的盟友,现在已经反目的MAGA重要人物,众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林,从另一个角度批评了特朗普攻击委内瑞拉劫持马杜罗的行动。

“在委内瑞拉政权更替之后,我担心我们将看到就业岗位向南转移。因为我们已经听说一些大型企业正在安排前往委内瑞拉的行程,准备抓住那里的下一波重大商业机会。与此同时,美国人却只能留在国内,眼看着既没有体面工作的机会,也得不到可负担的医疗保障。”

特朗普认可马杜罗的副总统为委内瑞拉领导人后,拒绝支持反对派后,外界认为上次大选中获胜的委内瑞拉反对派领袖埃德蒙多·冈萨雷斯发布视频,呼吁委内瑞拉军队支持他。

他表示:“作为委内瑞拉人民的总统,我向国家武装部队和国家安全部队发出冷静而明确的呼吁。

你们的职责是履行并执行2024年7月28日表达的主权意志。作为三军统帅,我提醒你们,你们的忠诚应属于宪法、属于人民、属于共和国。”

资料:美国冷战以来在拉丁美洲的干预行动
特朗普政府在周六攻击委内瑞拉并俘虏强人总统马杜罗,不由得让人们联想起美国在拉丁美洲进行军事干预的历史,其中有相当多是支持独裁政权。  以下是冷战以来美国在拉丁美洲的主要干预行动: 1954年:危地马拉 1954年6月27日,危地马拉总统哈科沃·阿本斯·古斯曼被一支由华盛顿训练和资助的雇佣军推翻。 古斯曼在1951年通过自由、公开的选举,当选为危地马拉总统,是该国历史上第一位由普选产生的总统之一。他所推动的土地改革旨在将闲置的大片土地分配给无地农民,试图打破国内长期存在的土地垄断格局。 然而,他的改革直接触动了美国企业联合果品公司的利益,也引发了美国政府对其“亲共”的怀疑。1954年,在美国中央情报局策划下,阿本斯被推翻,标志着一次外部势力干预下对一个民选政府的颠覆。 2003年,美国正式承认中央情报局(CIA)在此次政变中的角色,称目的是打击共产主义。 1961年:古巴 1961年4月15日至19日,1400名反卡斯特罗武装分子在CIA的训练和资助下,试图在距离哈瓦那250公里的猪湾登陆,推翻菲德尔·卡斯特罗领导的共产主义政权,但行动失败。 双方各有百余人丧生。 1965年:多米尼加共和国 1965年,美国以“共产主义威胁”为由,派遣海军陆战队和伞兵前往圣多明各,镇压一场支持前总统胡安·博什的起义。 博什是一位左翼总统,在1962年多米尼加共和国结束独裁统治后的首次自由选举中胜出,于1963年2月就任总统,成为国家近几十年来首位由民主选举产生的总统。 胡安·博什是左倾改革派,他推动土地改革、限制军队权力,并试图制定进步的新宪法。这些举措激怒了保守派、军方和美国政府。仅七个月后,他就被一场军人政变推翻。 美国在1965年以“防止共产主义渗透”为由派兵干预,镇压支持博什复职的起义力量。 1970年代:支持军事独裁政权 在冷战对抗格局中,美国将多国军事独裁政权视为对抗左翼武装的防线,予以支持。1973年9月11日政变中,美国积极协助智利独裁者皮诺切特推翻左翼民选总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德。 根据2003年解密的美方文件,美国国务卿亨利·基辛格曾支持1976年的阿根廷军政府,并鼓励其尽快结束所谓的“肮脏战争”。该政权期间,至少有1万人“失踪”。 在1970至1980年代,阿根廷、智利、乌拉圭、巴拉圭、玻利维亚和巴西六国联合开展“秃鹰行动”,镇压左翼反对者,美国对此表示默认。 1980年代:中美洲战争 1979年,尼加拉瓜桑地诺政权推翻独裁者阿纳斯塔西奥·索摩查。美国总统里根担忧新政权与古巴和苏联结盟,秘密授权CIA向反政府武装“反抗军”提供2000万美元援助,部分资金来自非法对伊朗出售武器。 这场内战持续至1990年4月,造成5万人死亡。 里根还向萨尔瓦多派遣军事顾问,协助镇压马蒂民族解放阵线(FMLN),FMLN反抗的是当时的萨尔瓦多右翼军方主导的独裁政权,这个政权得到了美国的军事和财政支持。 FMLN代表的左翼反对派要求进行民主改革、土地再分配和社会正义,但政府拒绝让步,并以武力镇压异见。 从1980年到1992年,FMLN与政府军爆发全面内战,导致约7.2万人死亡,许多是平民。 为海外华人提供有价值的信息与分析,更多内容和全文可在蓝天、电报、x查找causmoney,或直接谷歌搜索caus.com 1983年:格林纳达 1983年10月25日,在左翼军人发动政变后,格林纳达总理莫里斯·毕晓普被暗杀,同时古巴人正在扩建机场。美国总统里根以保护千余名美国公民为由,在东加勒比国家组织(OECS)请求下发动“紧急愤怒”行动。 联合国大会普遍谴责这次干预。行动于11月3日结束,造成百余人死亡。 1989年:巴拿马 1989年大选争议后,总统乔治·H·W·布什下令军事干预巴拿马,迫使美国将军曼努埃尔·诺列加投降。诺列加因贩毒被美国司法部门通缉。 诺列加曾是美国中央情报局(CIA)的长期合作者和情报资产,这一关系可以追溯到1960年代。1960年代起,诺列加在巴拿马国民警卫队中服役期间,就被CIA招募,成为美方在中美洲情报网络中的一员。 他提供有关古巴、尼加拉瓜、哥伦比亚等国的情报,并协助美国在拉丁美洲推进反共目标。 在1983年掌握巴拿马政权之后,尽管诺列加被广泛指控从事贩毒、洗钱、选举舞弊和镇压异见,美国政府(尤其是里根政府)仍继续与他保持合作。 美国情报部门一度视诺列加为“关键资产”,因为他在地缘政治上对抗古巴和苏联阵营。 直到1980年代后期,美国国内媒体曝光诺列加卷入国际毒品交易,尤其是与哥伦比亚毒枭合作,美国政府才逐步与其决裂。 “正义事业”行动动员了2.7万名美军,官方称造成500人死亡,非政府组织认为死亡人数远高于此,可能达数千人。 诺列加之后在美国服刑20余年,随后在法国和巴拿马服刑。

For months, a segment of President Trump’s political base has been complaining that he has spent too much time on foreign policy and too little on America’s economic anxieties. His announcement on Saturday that the U.S. would “run” Venezuela for an indefinite period is adding fuel to that fire.

Trump's military action against Venezuela, bypassing Congress, may have been successful in the short term, but carries enormous long-term risks and sets a dangerous precedent.

How scary!
特朗普政府和美国军方到目前为止没有证实军事行动,只表示注意到了有关报道,但对美国军队的角色拒绝置评。

五角大楼发言人将所有媒体有关爆炸事件的问题都转给了白宫。白宫拒绝就有关加拉加斯爆炸事件的报道发表评论。
路透报道,目击者称星期六凌晨委内瑞拉首都加拉加斯传出飞机声和巨大噪音,一股浓烟升起。城市南部靠近一处主要军事基地的区域已经停电。

网络流传的画面显示发生多次剧烈爆炸,据称有人看到支奴干直升机飞越和激烈的枪声,但是美国官方和媒体目前没有报道对委内瑞拉发动军事行动。
