    It's fascinating to watch the U.S. politicians and media come together during moments like this. Suddenly you get the same talking points from Republicans, Democrats and major American news networks. Former enemies like Trump and CNN now marching in lockstep.

    It must be an officially sanctioned U.S. regime change action. If only they had bothered to ask us taxpayers if we wanted to be involved in this...

    • "we'll see who's putins bitch" said trumphotroddy
    • deadsperm - that coup d'etat is the reason Chile is considered to be a first world nation amongst a third world continent. Pinoche got rid of all parasiteshotroddy
    • Not defending the Venezuela government by any means. But isn't it strange when you have a media all 100% sold on intervention,yuekit
    • when in fact hotroddy is not even exaggerating that almost no one in the US can point out Venezuela on a map??yuekit
    • Look at the track record over the past decade...Iraq, Libya, Syria, all disasters, supported by the same people who are currently masterminding this.yuekit
    • the difference venezuela is in the western hemisphere with an already westernized mentality.hotroddy
    • do you want to impose an authoratative anti democratic gov't on these people who only want democratic elections to be held?hotroddy
    • do you want venezuela converted to russian, cuban, iranian, north korean type gov't?hotroddy
    • where the only ideology that resonates to their base is that they are anti US?hotroddy
    • because they already failed economically speaking.hotroddy
    • Every single one of the countries you mentioned are countries where the U.S. meddled, tried to invade or overthrew the government.yuekit
    • and failed.hotroddy
    • and are those counties democratic?hotroddy
    • I'm saying the U.S. helped create those situations through their policies. What if Cuba had been handled differently for instance? It certainly didn't work toyuekit
    • blockade them for half a century and hope that would get the government to step down.yuekit
    • cuba would have fallen if it weren't for venezuela. Chavez stepped in big time after the collapse of soviet union at the expense of the venezuelan people.hotroddy
    • in exchange for information on how to subjugate your citizens.hotroddy
    • I don't know if that's true or not but one thing this sphere of influence stuff makes clear is that it's not about democracy vs. dictatorship. The U.S. supportsyuekit
    • some of the worst dictatorships in the world such as Saudi Arabia where people are executed for opposing the government and decapitated bodies are hung fromyuekit
    • buildings. It's more about power and control and it would be nice to know exactly what deal Trump and his cronies struck with Lopez and Guaido before we signyuekit
    • off on some decades long, trillion dollar commitment to socially reengineer that country.yuekit
    • the US had socially reengineered Venezuela in the 60's, 70's and 80's when it was the richest country in South America.hotroddy
    • and US literally 'engineered' venezuela's economy by providing capital and skilled workers in exchange for oil.hotroddy
    • they set up factories, set up schools., transformed it from a banana republic into a very modern state.hotroddy
    • Lopez is harvard educated, Guaido is an mechanical engineer so let's hope they struck the deal.hotroddy
    • It's all for the greater good.
      Pinochet did nothing wrong.
