Could just be because it's the most recent coup that has attracted international attention like this.

No idea about the Turkey coup, but from a The Guardian liveblog post, it sounds like Guaidos hand got forced. It was apparently going to be done at a somewhat later date, but Guaidos arrest was imminent (or they thought it was) and most of the strong military support that they had, balked at the last minute when they decided to move up the date to today.

Also, one has gotta wonder where Bolton is getting his intel from... I saw his earlier claim as BS straight away since if those aides really were plotting secretly, it'd seem like a REALLY bad idea to call out the fact that they exist, let alone call them out by name.

Well wasn't the thing with turkey that shortly after they got a new constitution? I know this is wild speculation but could it have been planned that support dwindles in the last minute? Like, via a false sense of assurance?

If it was planned, it certainly wasn't planned by Guaido.

Well at any rate this ended up being more of the same, or so it seems. Yesterday a lot of streets were blocked and protests were held until late.

Let's see what happens today, but I dont have high hopes. Hey at least I'm not eating my own words.

Unfortunately, you're not eating a whole lot else either...

Venezuala, Iraq, Libya, Iran, differences notwithstanding, it seems that Coca-Cola is not the only black death on the planet.

Could also be trying to sow doubt in Maduro or his administration.

Yesterday there were more protests, some of them turned into riots. Not much info besides that. The mob insists everything is in order and we should carry on but today there are more protests scheduled. Ph and the body count already started.

We got our power cut twice instead of a single time wich is odd but no unherad off. And currently there's no internet, and my phone data is unreliable and unestable at best.

I think he means the ultimate mob, the state.

[LordBaal]

The Mob as in mafia, no the pitchfork and torches one, that would be us. Darn, I forgot you need capitalization in English more than in spanish.

Just saw a video of a national broadcast that was underway were the defense minister just openly state "they are trying to bought us" and Maduro's reaction was so fucking genuine and scaredy glaring him as he turns his head and locks on with Maduro's.

Until now they all have stoically rejected any claims of being in contact with anyone from the US and sudenly yes, this confirm that at least some bargains were cooking under the table.
