    The “criminal charges” thing against Maduro is a joke. Any court will throw them out.

    I have no idea what they intend to do with that.

      Disrupt Venezuela for long enough to let corporations re-privatize that nation’s oil reserves for US business interests while everyone is distracted by a multi year long trial process that ends up going nowhere, Maduro gets released or pardoned.

    There are far more Venezuelan’s that are pissed. Don’t let the US media lie to you. We just stepped in it and now all of central and south America are on high alert. How are we going to negotiate anything with those countries now? Every day Americans will be poorer because of this.

      The relationship of Latin states with the US has never been of negotiation between equal peers. South and Central America are subjugated under the colonialism of the US. They are kept poor because their economies are structured to be dependent on trade with the US.

      The true effect will be to affirm the urgency for such states to develop deeper integration with the Russia-China power axis.
