Meanwhile, the Mexican government is still recognizing Maduro. Of course.

U.S. Coups™: Overthrowing Latin American Governments since 1823

Except Maduro is no longer a democratically-elected leader, so even if it was a coup (which it is clearly not, especially with the military still backing Maduro), it would be different.

Donald J. Trump's Broken Clock moment for 2019 came goddamn early this year, huh?

This is what leadership looks like. Smiley Not leading from behind like Obummer.

mexico for maduro and ecuador against? wow that's weird

Yes, support for Guaido ranges from the far-left to the far-right. Mexico's response to the Venezuela situation continues to disappoint. At some point, not saying anything in the name of "non-intervention" becomes de facto taking a side.

Hope India this time decides to join the US in supporting Guaido

Being neither a world power nor in the Americas, I don't think anyone cares about India's reaction.

Holy sh!t Jacobin. I thought Maduro apologism was beneath you, but apparently I was wrong.

Hmm. Wonder why we oppose Maduro but support countless dictatorships around the world...

Practical reasons. This shouldn't be controversial.

The Trump administration has offered an "exit arrangement" for Maduro.

You fail to comprehend that I never expressed any form of significant support for Maduro’s government.

Other than saying you'd vote for him.
