” it looks like maduro was betrayed by the military top commanders and kidnapped for the USA forces.”
If the Venezuelan top brass are behind it, then it will be a fait accompli and it will not become a national war. A guerilla war, internally, perhaps.
“Occident: The part of the world lying west (or east) of the Orient. It is largely inhabited by Christians, a powerful subtribe of the Hypocrites, whose principal industries are murder and cheating, which they are pleased to call war and commerce. These, also, are the principal industries of the Orient.”. (Ambrose Bierce).

NATO really preparing for war, says Belarus.

An American wit said that people care more for their cars than for their children. If someone damages their car they are furious. But if their children are sent to war and killed, not only are they not furious with the government that sent them to war, they become even more militaristic and patriotic.
The tragedy is, that once Europe’s governments attack Russia and Russia responds and soldiers and civilians are killed, those anti-war energies will be converted into mass hatred of Russians – which is what the governments are counting on. Pacifism and whatever awareness there is will, as always, be trampled in the rush to enlist. Only this time, before anyone shoulders a gun, we’ll all be ashes.
” Is it the workers’ fault, or the system’s fault?”
Neither. It just is. If something does persuade them, that will then be how it is too.
I disagree about the French protests. The Frexit party, or whatever it’s called, is riding the wave, not being blindly followed. The anti-war wave in France is genuine working class feeling, just unaware of capitalism being the cause of war.
