The reaction of the easily stampeded & panicked military is yet another indication that when the fall of the Venezuelan government arrives it will be very rapid once it occurs. The rot and weakening continues.

Just a gas explosion in a nearby apartment. Talk about fake news ...

Hoax until proven otherwise. If not a hoax it sounds like a home grown assassination plot with cheap drones, cheap explosives and amateurs. Those gas tank explosions could have been a contingency plan to destroy evidence.
If there was a 3rd party involved such as Columbia there role would have been limited. Perhaps intel or the drones themselves or explosives.
Maduro will use it as an excuse to arrest and confine political opponents or others trouble makers who’ve been acting in a lawful manner.

Well, if Maduro only listened to the Sanders/Cortez bunch none of this would never have happened. It would all be rainbows and unicorns.
The American Democrats - they do communism right!

The commercials were interesting to watch. I saw many background signs in English only.

The economy is in the $h!tter but we have time and money for a military parade.
I guess the people need these constant reminders that if they step out of line, the government still has means and will to kill everyone in the country.

cabal of rightwing schemers. Jeez, we get blamed for EVERYTHING! I would hope if we had done this, we would have done a better job.
If we are going to miss and hit a building, I would hope that we would bring down the building on Maduro.

Maduro is likely being attacked by party competitors. He recently conceded that the socialist economic model failed. He didn't blame America. He blamed socialism.
A few days later someone tries to kill him.
For the socialist, socialism is religion, the state is God and Maduro has profaned his faith.
He is now a heretic and the faithful are coming for him.

Maduro will use it as an excuse to arrest and confine political opponents or others trouble makers whove been acting in a lawful manner. But of course. As Inspector Louis would say; "Round up the usual suspects!" Any self-respecting tyrant has his enemies list and then a larger list of potentials. Got to keep your security forces focused on someone other than YOU!

"Maduro will use it as an excuse to arrest and confine political opponents or others trouble makers whove been acting in a lawful manner." Never let a crisis (or random event) go to waste.

I think it was a pure ‘accident’....some gas explosion that happened to be within a block of the parade. So far, no one has shown any images of drones, or evidence....so I think that’s all fake.
To: McGruff
Whatever it was, I hope the Secret Service has learned something! The paraglider in Scotland was an amateur.

Well, just look at who is reporting this event.
The Left-wing The Guardian.
They're just like the US press who try to squeeze in a "Trump did it" into every story they write.
To the Left, everybody who is bad in the world, is the Right.

All dictators parade their military and weapons out for public display. Maduro is no different.
It is their one visible sign of power that sends a strong message, not to their foreign enemies, but to their own people who might try to cause trouble.
