It is definitely an odd coup attempt

There are opposition military leaders exiled in Colombia. I wonder if they have crossed back into Venezuela with their troops to help oust Maduro.

Anyone got odds on this coup attempt?



Judging by the regime supporters' willingness to run unarmed civilians over with GD armored vehicles I would say slim to none...

After seeing that video, I would fully support Trump sending in drones to provide close air support to the people.

Let's remember that the democratically elected leader has not been allowed to assume power

If the US plays this right, we could turn an "adversary" into a friend

The problem is that Russia supports Maduro.

Just like in Syria, we find the US and Russia on opposite ends.

The Aug. 4, 2011, piece you are referring to, headlined “Close the Gaps: Disparities That Threaten America,” was an editorial, not a news article. It was written by a member of the Valley News Editorial Board and as such reflects the opinion of the newspaper.

Bernie wields no true power in American politics. He is nothing more than a bipartisan political metaphor

Socialism is supported by a growing segment of the population. It’s foolish to disregard the threat.
