This is a military coup. It has been a junta, all along. Venezuela pays its bonded debt on time, most the holders being that country's elite families and not a few generals.

Their imports go to the shops used by the party and the military, and these are well-stocked.

Like Stalin, the party is using shortages of food and medicine to control the population.

Starving the Ukraine, down South America way.

My question is after so long under the Cuban clone dictatorship and thugocracy, is the military like ours, filled with supporters of the regime?

Would a could be any better? Is there any reason to believe the generals are not just as socialist, but just wanting more food in the stores?
