Trump said the US will run Venezuela for the coming time. The US has today couped a country.

    Thing is, will it? The Venezuelan state still seems to be running itself, with vice president and ministers still occupying their posts. Maduro himself isn't some embodiment of PSUV and the party can continue existing and governing without him.

    Simply kidnapping Maduro without leaving behind boots on ground does very little besides intimidation. That can work for extracting concessions, but not for ruling a country. Either the rumoured second attack is coming soon or this might be negotiation tactics for full privatisation of the oil but leaving the government be.

    Delcy Rodriguez seems alive and well, and not enthused with collaboration with the US.

    I wouldn't trust Rubio until any evidence comes out of Venezuela. There's no official confirmation of her being sworn in as president (official outlets still refer to her as vice president, which is how it legally works) and she's still a proponent of Chavismo. At any rate, even if she turns coat there'll at least be a power struggle with PSUV, specially with the MoD announcing full scale mobilisations.

    Edit:

    As I wrote that, there was an update

    Vicepresidenta de Venezuela: «aquí hay un solo presidente, y se llama Nicolás Maduro»

    So, did they really managed their coup? Like the whole hope is lost, and all the build up was for nothing? (Like all the equipment that were bought, all the people, etc).

    Im having a mental breakdown over this circus of the world and i wanna hear someone killing imperialism along with its soldiers

    When I heard that interview of Machado saying "he has to go", I had memories of every single time I heard that phrase about Assad. I thought it was impossible then, and I thought it was impossible for Maduro, now I don't believe any anti imperialist country is safe. Not Yemen, not Iran, not even Russia at this point. The Empire is still this capable and they've shown it again.
