I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

Hi, u/NONE_dc, I can tell you this is actually infuriating from my perspective, even though I'm in the State of Pennsylvania in the US. I didn't hear anything about this attack taking place until early this morning after I woke up, and I have not been feeling myself all day since I have been feeling anxious, which it may possibly be due to the attack in Venezuela. I also don't care about Maduro either, but it has me wondering what the world is coming to. Furthermore, I was trying to find out what is going to happen next via MS NOW, but the feed I have from that channel is currently freezing from time to time, so I'm stuck with the NBC News feed instead.

I didn't know until I woke up either. People in US were not aware (I'm in Southern US.) It's scary and absolutely a terrible way to get something done. Maduro was a bad man as far as I've heard, but being taken over by a shittier guy is worse. I guess maybe if we find out Maduro had sex with children, he'll be qualified to run for president of the US. Someone help us all.
