According to a respected Venezuelan Journalist, Maduro got wind the military coup was coming and moved to arrest Guaido, causing Guaido to launch their coup before they were ready.

It looks like the immediate plan to turn the military has mostly failed, so they are relying on their media plan to sway people and possibly create a justification for foreign intervention.

t-rump and his administration are claiming they support the protestors. I do not believe them. What t-rump is doing is using this as a template for all the bad that socialism creates.

Heard the talking point from a newscaster talking about "socialism" and our up coming election.

I stand with the people of Venezuela . . . .
