Latin America is coming back to the old days of coup d’tat and urban and jungle guerrilla fighters and military
violenceThey have not mentioned that several civilian neighbourhoods were attacked, buildings and family residences were destroyed, and more than 40 human beings died, including elderly peoples
The guerrillas were never defeated; they are dormant, and the FARC and the ELN are planning to reactivate their operations again
I do not think the US is going to be able to control the Venezuelan workers; they are scared of a popular revolt.

Heavy gunfire was reported outside the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas on Monday, just days after President Nicolas Maduro was abducted during a US Special Forces raid.Videos posted on social media show armed soldiers and armored vehicles outside government buildings.
There are also reports of explosions and the activation of air-defense guns. Citing its sources in Venezuela, AFP said “the situation is under control.”
AFP’s sources added that security forces opened fire in response to unidentified drones flying over Miraflores.
Troops were mobilized after US commandos captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on Saturday and transported them to New York, where both were indicted on drug-trafficking charges. Maduro’s close ally, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, has been appointed interim president. She condemned the US operation as an “imperialist attack.”
Maduro denied all charges when he was brought before a US judge on Monday, describing himself as “a prisoner of war.” Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said the US had launched “a colonial war” to pillage Venezuela’s natural resources. “Today, it was Venezuela. Tomorrow, it can be any other country that decides to exercise its sovereignty,” he added.
Moscow and Beijing have also condemned the US raid, with Russian UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia calling it “international banditry.”
They have opened a can of worms, and some of those governments backed by the US are shaky, too. The USA has never won a war by itself, they always needs a secretaryArticle on RTE news re the mineral wealth of Venezuela. The Irish state broadcasters some how manage to spot facts and occurrences that the BBC inadvertently overlook. If I was a cynic I could even think the BBC were deliberately ignoring things, heaven forbid!

The new charges against Nicolas Maduro are for trafficking with cocaine before was fentanyl. They have accepted that the Cartel del Sol does not exist, and they made a large campaign about its existence, pretty soon they are going to say that the Tren de Aragua does not exist either. It is a Kangaroo court similar to the one setup against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Apparently the US has demanded of the interim president to stop trading with Russia, China and Cuba.

I don’t think China and Russia are going to accept those demands, they have invested large sums of money and resources in Venezuela, and china loans are been paid with petroleum and minerals.
Latin America is part of the world spheres of influence of China and the second trade partner
A few days ago the Vice president of Venezuela was considered an ilegitimate vice president and now the US is considering her the legitimate president of Venezuela, as well in the NY Kangaroo court Nicolas Maduro is considered to be the legitimate president of Venezuela.
Partially the USA wants to lift the petroleum embargo from Venezuela, and the government of Joe Biden was also doing negotiations with Nicolas Maduro to partially lift the oil embargo, it does show that the state is the executive apparatus to handle the interests of the capitalist class, it does not make any differences of who the administrator is
Still most wage slaves do not see that nationalism does not apply to them, it is just a tactic to keep them divided, the USA capitalist class is based on isolationism and expansionism at the same time
Now, some members of the MAGA movement are running away because they are seeing that the slogan of America first is world expansionism, and they were against globalism but the government of USA is globalist too like all capitalist nations
