Trump taking the other guys side makes it harder to convince people that Maduro has ended democracy in Venezuela. Until Maduro is gone, the decline of Venezuela will march on.

Wonder how much $$$American Greenbacks$$$ this guy got?

CARACAS, Feb 2 (Reuters) - An active Venezuelan general called on the armed forces to rebel against President Nicolas Maduro and to recognize the opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim chief as pressure at home and abroad grows on the head of state to step down.
In a video circulating on Twitter on Saturday, General Francisco Yanez of the air force's high command, said most of the armed forces already disavowed Maduro, who claims he is victim of a coup directed by the United States.
"People of Venezuela, 90 percent of the armed forces of Venezuela are not with the dictator, they are with the people of Venezuela," Yanez said in the video.
"Given the happenings of the last few hours, already the transition to democracy is imminent."
The high command's web page lists Yanez, along with a photo, as the air force's head of strategic planning.
On its Twitter account, the air force's high command accused the general of treason. Yanez is the first active Venezuelan general to recognize Guaido since he proclaimed himself president on Jan. 23.
The video came as opposition supporters were set to protest nationwide in a bid to keep up the pressure on Maduro after Washington recognized Guaido as the legitimate president and issued potentially crippling sanctions that are likely to further weaken the OPEC nation's struggling oil industry.
Maduro's critics also hope to encourage similar moves by European countries. Some European Union member states are expected to officially recognize Guaido next week, while others will likely take a more cautious stance of support.
"We are going to send a very clear message in all the municipalities of Venezuela and in each city of the world, we are going to give a demonstration of strength, in a pacific and organized manner," Guaido tweeted on Saturday
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Latin American countries need to hold prolonged investigations to determine if the U.S. has meddled in their elections.

Maduro was democratically elected. Juan Guaidó was chosen by the US government, not the Venezuelan people. The United States broke national law (shocker), and said that they no longer respect Maduro as Venezuela's leader, and that they not respect this other guy as the new leader.
There was also an attempted assassination of Maduro, which the United States and Columbia both played a role in. The pictures that they keep showing on the news of Venezuelan rebels, are actually not even people from Venezuela.
Venezuela has some of the largest oil reserves in the world, and United States oil companies want access to that oil, but the Venezuelan government nationalized it, so that the people of Venezuela benefit from oil production, not oil companies. That's why the US is trying to overthrow their government.

I really think that Venezuela has to recruits some military support from other foreign nations, such as Russia. That's the only way to stop something like this. Americans don't even know what's going on, and the propagandist machine that is our media is blatantly lying to us.

He's litterally waiting for Trump to die. According to a biographer Pence has believed that God wants him to be president since he was a teenager.
"His decision to accept Donald Trump's offer to be his running mate - it even goes back much further," D'Antonio claimed. "By the time he had left high school, he had decided that he was going to be president of the United States. ... He thought God was calling him to, now, be vice president and function as a president-in-waiting."

It is alarming to see how the media has literally become a propagandist machine for the government in so many ways. I don't know why people aren't more upset about this. It's actually quite terrifying.
What the WSJ is saying about Venezuela is patently false. There is no ambiguity about the situation. They are blatantly, brazenly just flat out lying about what's going on.
