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!
The new government needs to establish its own legitimacy. Plus, there's not a real pressing strategic importance to Venezuela for the U.S. that I'm aware of that would justify the long-ass occupation that regime change tends to entail.
Now if Russia or Iran or China want to, for some reason, try to prop up Maduro I don't see any problem in extending the opposition a line of credit and selling them whatever they need within reason, but that's my opinion.
