  1. These comments are so retarded calling out a CIA op or the west pulling the strings. You people have no idea how miserable Venezuela is because of Chavez or Maduro. People are fleeing, suffering and no way maintain their family and still you people have no clue. Go live in Cuba or Venezuela and let's see if you can afford for bread due to Socialism.

  2. Edmundo won the presidential polls and therefore he must take office on Jan 10. Guaido didn't win any election. In any case, military action of any kind is a righteous move to enforce election results.

  3. They are not gona recognize him straight up if they do usa will steal ther oil n resources right away thats y the usa backing him up the people of Venezuela need to wake up all these sanctions due to usa all bad
