Venezuela, Cui Bono?

[hoarder]

I do think it is very possible that a good percentage of Venezualans may be happy to be rid of the oppressive socialist government they have been living under. If it was me, I would probably prefer capitalist bastards to socialist bastards.

wonder how the average person feels about it.

It was in the interests of the banking elite to make Maduro appear much more oppressive than he was, not only in the eyes of the world but in the eyes of Venezuelans.
The Average person in Venezuela is probably just as clueless as the average American. I think they are even worse off now.
