"Having successfully won the May 20, 2018 elections (and many election cycles prior) with the clearly popular vote, Nicolas Maduro was sworn into office on January 10, 2019. And yet, despite there being no evidence of rigging or electoral fraud -- especially when the ever-so cautious Bolivarian government always makes sure to invite a UN inspector to observe -- the U.S.-backed right-wing opposition continues to cry foul and react violently, resorting to acts terrorism against the Venezuelan population. This week, we see renewed calls for regime-change and a bloody coup from the United States and its allies. Even more outrageous: we see several Western political figures recognizing opposition leader Juan Guiado as the country's "interim president"! If the U.S. were to actually start militarily attacking Venezuela, their proxy forces will most likely be coming from Venezuela's long-time enemy, Colombia; and also Brazil, given that Bolsonaro is virulently anti-Venezuela."
