Crisis in Venezuela

[LoneStarDem]

It's still early, but I know that Maduro has Russia, PRC, Mexico (AMLO sticking with his half-assed policy of non-intervention crap is tacitly backing Maduro), Cuba, Iran, NK, Turkey, etc., in his corner.

Plus half of the Venezuelan Military is behind him as well.

Something tells me we're going to see a repeat of the 2016 Turkey failed coup d'état & we all know what happened to the coup letters in that one....

Trump needs to send in the army ASAP.

Because proving Maduro right on recent events and galvanizing the Chavistas would work wonders on bringing peace to the region. Not to mention back home, with the president not even having a people’s mandate for this war, not to mention his presidency, in the first place.

Trump supporters would revolt if he deployed ground troops into any potential conflict there. Plus as PSOL noted, any such action would only dramatically worsen the situation.

US Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) strongly believes the future of the Western Hemisphere is at stake considering PRC, Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc., are upping the ante against the United States for dominance of the Western Hemisphere.

Sounds like Maduro & his loyalists in the Venezuelan Military are cracking down on the opposition hard.

Come on Maduro, hold on.

Why, why would you want Maduro to stay in power?

I am sick and tired of American backed and sometimes even done coups and regime changes and stupid foreign policy, enough already of the "democracy" thumping propaganda machine.

Respectfully, pull your head out of your rear end and learn some damn empathy. You are wishing millions of people to continue living under autocracy and poverty to spite the American foreign policy establishment.

You just took the words out of my mouth. I was thinking about saying the same thing, but in much more expletives deleted language.

Big question is whether Putin sends the Russian Military to launch air-strikes on the opposition ?

[LoneStarDem]

Sounds like this coup attempt will backfire. I'm wondering what happens to Guiado's family ?

Keeping an eye on the following countries, who could do something on a military scale:

1.) Colombia

2..) Brazil

3.) Ecuador: if they have the balls to do it.

4.) Peru

5.) Chile

6.) Argentina
