Will the Venezuelans resist or accept the US puppet dictatorship?
Something that everyone in my family has been saying for a long time is that Maduro is just the visible face of an entire movement. The Chavistas, those who followed Chávez even after his death, are a reality and an inescapable fact. THEY WILL NOT LEAVE PEACEFULLY.
And I don't mean that in a "positive" way. I'm talking about the fact that we can expect at least a civil war or a guerrilla situation like what happened in Colombia with the FARC. Because on the one hand, Maduro was not loved at all, but on the other, there's people that would rather die than let the gringos take power.
Ordinary people will be the collateral damage, as always.
Indeed, the last sentence in your 2nd paragraph sums it up. +1
Siempre pasa lo mismo. Los sufren estas mierdas, los ciudadanos de a pie
Just guessing from the outside here, I doubt the fascist regime of 'murica actually has military left here that didn't fuck right off after they abducted Maduro. So unless there's also a Venezuelan coup going on, or an actual invasion is started, no one there will do as fascist murica desires.
It has all been so obviously telegraphed. I hate it so much.
