Chile wants to get in on the action. Argentina, ElSalvador and Bolivia. They don’t want to be left behind. Would any of them send troops into Venezuela if called upon?

Leaders in Cuba will soil their pants.

Looks like Chile has fake news as well:

He effectively uses social media to bypass traditional media outlets and directly connect with his base, spreading his message and mobilizing support.

His final paragraph hits your words, quite well.

Yes, we were there couple years ago and I was surprised how the media pushed the previous communist dictator Allende, and how much spite was thrown on the Pinochet, who basically saved the country from Venezuela fate!
