Some will recall their was a briefly successful revolution against Chavez in the first few months of Bush 2’s first term. IIRC it was reported here, then, that the opposition asked Bush’s State department for permission to permanently dispose of Chavez, which was richly deserved and historically sound policy. Bush refused to support that and Chavez’s supporters came to his rescue. If the opposition actually can briefly obtain control (winning 2/3 of the vote ≠tallying 2/3 of the vote) I hope they remember this. Obama would certainly give the same answer as Bush, if asked, but if the opposition is smart they’ll realize how toothless he is at defending any of his red lines. Better yet, don’t ask him, just do what’s needed.
“Bush refused to support that and Chavez’s supporters came to his rescue. “
Dammit! You just reminded me why I hate the Boosh family so much! Feckless bastards all!
I think people will have to die in the end to remove Maduro and his thugs from power.
I would hope not, but I honestly think it will take acts leading to people dying to restore a greater degree of freedom in Venezuela.
