UNASUR reject the executive order approved by the United States government against Venezuela

http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/South-America-Rejects-US-Aggressions-on-Venezuela-20150314-0019.html

Venezuela received strong backing from the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) Saturday afternoon, at an emergency summit addressing the recent aggressions from US President Barack Obama. Obama had signed an executive order earlier in the week declaring Venezuela an “extraordinary threat to national security.” At a press conference following the meeting of the foreign ministers, UNASUR Secretary General Ernesto Samper read out a statement that said, “The member states of UNASUR reject the executive order approved by the United States government which declares Venezuela a threat to national security.” The statement describes the executive order as an “interference” and a “threat to sovereignty and to the principle of non-intervention.” "We call upon the United States to evaluate and implement dialogue as an alternative,” adds the statement “The UNASUR member States believe the internal situation in Venezuela shall be resolved through the democratic mechanisms established in the Venezuelan Constitution”

Venezuela has become a stale topic. But, cutting and pasting Two Minute Hates for each of the other South American countries must use up the better part of an afternoon.

They didn't have a lot to say when Nestor Kirchner and Luis Inacio Lula da Silva were in office, but they went right to work, sporadically, whenever possible on the next presidents, the women. They have always been waiting, crouching like trolls, for anything they could use to come against Rafael Correa.

In the last week or two they've been attacking all three. Sounds too eerily organized to be a "coinkidink." It's as if someone is getting impatient and wants to kick off a war with all the leftists at once.
