The regime the US government is trying to replace in Venezuela hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory. It deserves to be replaced, although preferably by the actions of the Venezuelans themselves, not the usual US spooks and goons. From Bill Bonner at bonnerandpartners.com:
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – “Soldiers revolt…”
“Millions on verge of starvation…”
“Biggest mass exodus in history of the Americas…”
What a glorious show! Right before our eyes… a real-life, real-time experiment…
…all the conceits… the pretensions… the balderdash… the claptrap…
…all laid out for the world to see. And now, stretched out in front of us like a drug dealer in the morgue, is a Great Dream busted up so thoroughly that there can be no doubt – it was a scam from the get-go.
You put a pot on the burner. Eventually, it boils. And Caracas was boiling last night. Earlier in the day, a direct challenge to Nicolás Maduro’s presidency. Juan Guaidó – president of Venezuela’s National Assembly – declared himself the legitimate president of the country.
