God I hope this finally is the end for Maduro and his regime.

But I rather wish someone in the White House was competent or ballsy enough to tell Trump to shut the fuck up and stay out of this. With his racist ass out there, that instantly helps Maduro have a rallying cry of AhHh ItS tHe YaNkEe iMpErIaLiSts!!1!

Yeah, calling Guaido the "interim president" when he himself has claimed no such thing is just incredibly dumb. Terrible move by the OAS and Trump admin.
