Venezuelan Revolution Underway?

Post Reply New Topic

Is the Venezuela endgame playing out today? Some military are joining Guaidó in rising up against socialist dictator Maduro.

It's being reported under the hashtag #operacionlibertad

If you can read Spanish you can follow what's happening (only bits and pieces are in English):

From This CNN Article:

What we're covering here

What's happening? Opposition leader Juan Guaido urged Venezuelans to take to the streets on Tuesday as he announced that the final phase of the operation to topple President Nicolas Maduro is underway.

What's led to this? Guaido declared himself interim president in January and was backed by the U.S. and dozens of other nations. Since then, Venezuela -- which is mired in a deep political and humanitarian crisis -- has had two men claiming to be president.

What comes next? It's unclear right now. Guaido says the military -- seen as the key to whether Maduro remains in power -- is deserting the president. The government, however, says the situation is under control and that the military is behind Maduro.

Situation unclear, as expected. Daily Mail has far more pictures than anyone else (as usual).

Protesters are run over by Maduro's armoured vehicles as gunfire breaks out, sending civilians running for cover after Juan Guaido calls for military uprising, sparking clashes with pro-regime troops

Juan Guaido called for uprising against Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday from the La Carlota airbase in Caracas

Guaido made the announcement surrounded by troops who then began setting up a defensive perimeter

Maduro's forces fired tear gas before a heavy exchange of gunfire, with protesters caught in the middle

US, which backs Guaido, said President was aware while Putin, backing Maduro, was in talks with top officials

Citizens and army supporters reported moving on the presidential palace in Caracas:

Situation fluid and reports incomplete, of course. US has expressed strong support for Guaido.

Will Putin help out by sending a helicopter and lifting Maduro out of the country to live out his life in a nice house outside Moscow?

I certainly hope the citizenry can break their shackles. The prolonged suffering of the Venezuelan people has been utterly sickening.

The coup's already failed, like all the other coup attempts and US-instigated uprisings since 1998. It's kinda hard to carry one out w/a handful of soldiers, a few vehicles, a deeply unpopular leader and just a few 1000 demonstrators. Especially when the government can fairly easily mobilize 100,000 people or more, like they did over the weekend after the country left the US-controlled OAS and controls the rest of the military. If they wanna change in government, they're gonna have to win it at the ballot box, like they won the last parliamentary election.

Venezuela shuts down national internet connections.

russia told maduro to not flee to cuba, last i heard.

It's another fail. It's not a 'revolution', it's Bolton and Abrahams with their little spineless rat Trump trying to remove the elected leader of another country by force. Funny how CNN is being used as a source by Trump fans. They are all on the same page with it comes to war. If Maduro was a brutal dictator Gauido would be dead.

If Trump had a backbone and a brain he wpuld fire John Bolton. The guy needs to be locked away for life.

And derp de derp Trump AGAIN is doing something to hurt Russia. Seriously the mainstream media just lies about everything. And AGAIN the only person in the mainstream media telling the truth is TUCKER CARLSON. Let that sink in.

It's such a dumb crock that it can be debunked by a nightclub comedian

i can't help but believe that the dotard and his minions [working our economic sabotage against Venezuela] are at least as much responsible for the socioeconomic breakdown in that poor country, as anything maduro and his minions ever dreamt of doing to their own.

It's the US in general, under EVERY US President. They'd all have been hung at Nuremberg.

If Tulsi Gabbard doesn't get the nomination you might as well keep Trump.
