#Venezuela
: so far clashes at La Carlota appear to be contained to the western side of the Airbase.
I've been to be airbase and especially that side several times, it's a very open area making it easy for military to keep people out and conduct counter attacks.pic.twitter.com/yafnD4jsh2

#Venezuela
: if protesters want to take over the base they need to start attacking from several (less open) sides or storm the open side in very large numbers.
Cause a open area like this is easy to control for a armed force with military vehicles, tear gas and live ammo.pic.twitter.com/dTvfSzY7Oi
