Our Media will go to the rescue! They will blame Trump for not bailing out one of our southern neighbors. They will prop up Maduro all they can to make it look like the USA was behind his downfall.
and many of those are now on their way here. Mr. President, please build the wall. Mr. Sessions, please close the border.

It’s been on the verge of collapse for three years. I read somewhere last year that roughly 5,000 a day are just getting up and walking out. The 31.5 million figured in 2016? I would take a guess that the population is around 28 million today, and by the end of the year....a million less.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think any of the military leaders really wants to take on the government operations job. There is a total lack of confidence in resolving the mess.
Venezuela is beautiful. A mess to clean up but the labor is cheap.
Is there a Venezuelan Pinochet?
Thankfully the socialists were swept out by a huge landslide though thousands were killed in the political violence during the campaign
it’s interesting news that yet another reason for slowed production is because Venezuelan storage facilities are full, indicating there’s a problem somewhere in the export shipping process ... i’m guessing the problem is that they can no longer use their export terminals in the Caribbean because world courts have ruled that ConocoPhillips can seize any Venezuelan oil passing through ...
that country is indeed on the verge of total collapse, but not sure an actual military coup is going to take place ... it seems like the government may simply grind to a halt and/or cease to function a la the passive-aggressive failures predicted in Atlas Shrugged, since it seems pretty much everyone, including soldiers and oil workers, are simply walking off the job and attempting to flee to adjacent countries ... will be interesting to if this kind of collapse actually occurs ...
Can you imagine what our southern border will look like after Marxist President Obrador has ruled Mexico for a couple years?
We're done here. What is left is to convince Maduro and his supporters that it's over.
So if there is a successful military coup, then the new leaders would need to cut some deal with foreign powers to the oil industry fixed and to get basic food and medicine worked out.
Venezuela is now a charity case. Both China and Russia are owed billions; both now see an infrastructure so far gone that the investment necessary to get it up and running again in order to pay the existing debts exceeds the return on those debts. China can, for example, recover its $80 billion (or more) debt - for $100 billion. That's a non-starter.
But regime change first or the deal will be made with known thieves, and nobody's going to do that. And regime change will not be easy. The author speaks of a military coup in the way that a Harry Potter fan might speak of a new magic potion. The devil's in the details.
Yes,but as long as you have an oil crypto coin, the oil is guaranteed to magically appear out of nothing.
How long would it take a Bernie-bot in our White House to turn the United States into Venezuela?
Ah, but it’s fair! everyone’s equally poor!
(Except for the ruling elite, which gets anything it wants.)
