At the moment, the armed forces’ position vis-à-vis the government is not clear. Some speculate that the Bolivarian National Guard is divided. Others claim that the regime exerts full control over the Bolivarian National Guard’s members. The only certainty is that uncertainty abounds.
The PanAm Post had the opportunity to interview a Bolivarian National Guard member of middle rank, who asked to remain anonymous since his views could expose him to danger.

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!

How can this be? Socialist workers paradise!
“Mexico is ripe for a coup”
Maybe, but it will be the cartels doing it.
The Cartels are already doing it, behind the scenes.
Gen. Pinochet would know what to do.
Send in the Bernies....
Send in Sean Penis, the savior of socialism!
Not to worry. The good old U.S will send them a couple of trillion. Americans can go to h*ll.

Next Obama initiative: resettle a million Venezuelan “refugees” in Flyover Country, America. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Not just oil...there are Yuge gold deposits there as well. I was just about to head to Venezuela when the idiot Chavez took over and shut down the country to gringos.
He essentially Bernie Sandered the country.
Overthrow the tyrant and hang him from a lamppost along with his supporters.
