At end of the interview:
“Right now, all elements of the armed forces are under control. A coup-d’état takes place when you reach a breaking point and someone in the higher echelons of the armed forces decides that it’s time to act against the government. Right now in Venezuela, there are political divisions within the armed forces. There is neither the necessary unity nor the necessary organization for a coup to take place. Besides, officers fear the government’s informants. Everyone is on guard.”
Paging Spicoli!
Welcome to the jungle and its law.
They are feeling the Burn.
Amazing to watch socialism completely destroy an oil rich country in just 16 years.
How can this be? Socialist workers paradise!
Send in the Bernies....
Not to worry. The good old U.S will send them a couple of trillion. Americans can go to h*ll.

Overthrow the tyrant and hang him from a lamppost along with his supporters.
Send Sean Penn and the rest of the Commie libs over there to Venezuela, its their Utopia, the promise land, let them see up close and personal the true success of socialism
In the majority of cases.
Is the OLP really carrying out its operations strictly to end gang violence?
That is their main purpose. But there is also a political element. The OLP’s creation was a desperate measure. The government had given liberty to the gangs to do what they please. They armed them and now they are attacking them."
Thanx for the link to the Pan AM Post, there’s a lot going on south of our border that we should be paying attention to. And good sources in English are hard to find.
I feel a Salvador Allende moment coming on!
They need a Pinochet. Warm up the helicopters.
The only good commie...
My wife worked in the “foregn students” department of a local university. A lot of the kids were from Venezuela. She saw it go from “fairly good” to bad to worse. She left a couple of years ago but we met a couple of them working as waiters in local restaurants this last few months. They have been given strict orders from their families to not go home at all costs, no matter what.
One girl’s family’s ranch was taken over by the government to “house the poor”. When the ranch foreman protested, they shot him dead, right there on the back porch.
This is looking like some of the stuff going in in the middle of the 20th century in Europe.
I stayed in a resort in Caracas as a child. Outside the resort area, I was astounded by the poverty I saw. It was beautiful country, with the mountain and ocean combo, always a favorite, but the people lived in crates.
FEEL THE BERNOUT!
