No question that Juan Guaido is a CIA asset and some neoliberal plot to plunder Venezuela's oil reserves.

But the way Maduro basically declared a new legislative branch and stacked both it and the supreme court full of loyalists is shitty too. Was it primarily a measure to stave off a coup attempt? Just rings a little "undemocratic". Am I reading into the history incorrectly?

      lol you wandered into the lion's den and declared "Why shouldn't tigers replace lions?" Maybe approach the discussion in good faith next time.

        I watched this takedown last night debunking John Oliver's shitty video on Venezuela and came away with a lot of questions, did a lot of reading, and came here for clarification. How should I have framed this instead?

          Maybe not have called Maduro “sus” in the title. “Yo lions, are manes ugly? Discuss.”
