As noted in the article, "When Trump launched his re-election campaign in Orlando on June 18, he made no mention of Venezuela." Why hasn't this been remarked upon? Part of the political calculation in engineering the coup was a (failed) appeal to certain FL voter demographics

This article gives a sense of how fragmented, unwieldy, and corrupt the military command structure in Venezuela has become. Even in that context, US failed to engineer a coup. Which reflects a general diminishment of US power, even in its own hemispherehttps://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/venezuela-military/ …

Or all the people that died from US sanctions, maybe that should be a huge story? What was it 40,000 in the last year? Horrifying.

In passing - & it seemed a stretch, save that JR was proven right about nearly everything he wrote in his quarter century at http://antiwar.com - Justin Raimondo argued Trump gave Bolton/Pompeo that rope because he was confident they'd use it to hang themselves, & neoconismo

Yes, twice, Germany and Japan after WW2. Since then it's been mostly a failure.

I don't necessarily support US funded coups but this is none the less a sad moment for Venezuela. They are straight on a path to becoming another DPRK.
