    I thought I read they did storm the streets of Caracas, during the last Trump admin, in support of Maduro, during a previous coup attempt.

    Like the US got caught sponsoring mercenaries and trying to ship in a load of guns to start a coup. I don’t imagine everything is peachy in Venezuela, but I do wonder how much of that is due to meddling by foreign powers versus corruption.

    News in Latin America is hard to trust one way or another, because it always seems like it’s being twisted to support one goal or another. Like, I know the state media is biased, but I also know the Western media is eager to support bloodthirsty actors who want to pillage their resources.
