Venezuela Promises to Have Free and Fair Elections in Exchange for Fewer Sanctions. X Has Doubts.

A pair of people familiar with talks between Venezuela and the US have said that a deal has been reached wherein the communist dictatorship will have internationally monitored free and competitive elections next year in exchange for reduced sanctions on the OPEC member's petroleum production. The Washington Post announced the deal to X on Monday morning with a two-post thread stating that the deal is to be announced after a separate agreement between the socialist state and the opposition on Tuesday in Barbados.

The doubts expressed by X seem to be in regard to both the article itself and the despot's trustworthiness.

Examples of the former include this gem.

The overwhelming majority doubt Maduro's transparency.

The Spanish there states, 'Negotiate with terrorists and drug dealers. Real Politik.'

The real question on everyone's mind seems to be this.

That might indeed be the case. This writer chooses to take a wait-and-see approach. We trust Maduro about as far as we could throw him. (Based on the last visit to the gym, that's not very far.) We trust the Biden Administration just a little more. We'll see what happens tomorrow in Barbados. We would prefer to see the sanctions partially lifted AFTER the elections rather than before. It's just too easy for the government to back out of that agreement as they have backed out of many others.

The story received more interactions from those sharing it outside of the Washington Post's own posts.

When it comes down to it, Oilfield Rando sums up our thoughts quite well.

Removing sanctions for PROMISES. As our grandfather was fond of saying, 'piss in one hand and promise in the other, and see which one fills up first.'
