      Maduro's government has engaged in real repression, with a real humanitarian toll, and there's no sense denying that. The question of whether the US has license to attempt to oust him from power is an entirely separate issue.

      The evidence for escalating abuses is overwhelming. Only weird, intransigent leftists seem to deny this. Still: no justification for a US-facilitated coup. Both things can be affirmed simultaneously https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/amr53/8975/2018/en/ … https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/09/24/addressing-human-rights-and-humanitarian-crisis-venezuela …https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article223142325.html …

          HRW and Amnesty were at the forefront in pushing for CIA wars in Libya and Syria. Remember, 'something had to be done!'..the Samantha Power doctrine from your friendly non-partisan NGO's. Strange how this always aligns with CIA/Pentagon plans.

          This “repression” is a response to an onslaught from the worlds super power, we’ve been interfering there for years and collaborating with the far right/business leaders there. Here’s obama declaring a NATIONAL EMERGENCY about Venezuela in 2015https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/03/09/fact-sheet-venezuela-executive-order …

          Please. As though repressive measures, to the extent they aren't overhyped or just made up, are happening in a vacuum. Most violence is from segments of the opposition, to include lynchings and burning stores of food. Don't be as naive as so many other Western liberals.

          Do we have evodence of material backing by the US for this coup? Or is our support verbal only? I know we do it all the time, but so far I’ve only seen words.

          HRW and Amnesty are neo-liberal organizations who’s #s have been unreliable on instances regarding regime change . As far as repression, I believe you have to view things from a larger context concerning the history of US backed coups vs leftist governments for the last 50 years.

          It's not a coup if he's illegitimate. Gauido is like the Speaker assuming power. Now I agree the US shouldn't invade or play coy. If this goes south Venezuelans could be even worse off than until now, although it could also play right and the military flips.

          The strongest argument for intervention is to prevent the inevitable refugee crisis should Venezuela's implosion continue. Recent history should not make us optimistic that regime change can fix damaged societies on a reasonable timeline, if ever.
