If the people of Venezuela were going to overthrow their government, they would have done it already.
This John Bolton puppet who is pretending to be the President - we’ve seen this act before. Every shithole in the world has 5% of the population who are able to act like us, they join NGOs, they go to Davos, they have the IMF on speed dial, they come to Washington to plead the case that their people want “freedom” (i.e., they want THEM in charge instead of whoever is actually in charge), and that the only thing missing is a billion dollars and 20 000 maimed or dead American sons of the soil, who the State Department won’t miss anyway because they are Deplorables or Bitter Clingers.
Been there, done that. Not having it again.
If the Venezuelans are unhappy, let them overthrow the government. If THEY won’t pay the blood price, I’m damned if I’m going to have our guys do it. Again.
Those days are over.
Leopoldo Lopez, a well known Venezuelan opposition leader who was imprisoned by the Maduro regime, appeared briefly with Juan Guaido yesterday but was later seen entering the Chilean embassy.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement for success of the movement when its leaders are seeking asylum in another country.
