What is your opinion on the political situation in Venezuela?

Asked by Caravanfan (13534points) January 29th, 2019

A lot is happening now in Venezuela. Nicolas Maduro, the hand-picked successor to Hugo Chavez lost an election to opposition candidate Juan Guaido. Maduro has the support of the military and refuses to relinquish power and now is using the military to terrorize neighborhoods and perform targeted killings. Meanwhile the US Treasury department has announced sanctions on a government owned oil company, and there are rumors that the US is considering an invasion of Venezuela with 5000 US troops (started by Bolton who wrote it on a yellow pad).

It’s a complicated situation which I oversimplified, but that’s the thumbnail sketch.
