I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

We had the Occupy movement, and the rich still got so much richer that nobody can afford anything. We had George Floyd, and they took away DEI and want to deport non-whites. We protested Gaza and the still starved kids to death. Things look bad and it's not just here. It's worldwide.

A lot of nation leaders need to realize this and they need to do the same clandestine shit the USA does to oppose non-capitalist governments.

They can't do the same clandestine shit the US dues though, us simply has had more resources for decades. Not just assets but resources for those assets to utilize. In some cases nearly limitless resources

And they are already everywhere.

According to some former CIA people the CIA does what the president wants them to do regardless of legality morals or ethics.

This president is a criminal already, he has very few if any lines he's unwilling to cross.

And also they have an apparatus that was trained on 50+ years of cold war as the crucible to forge their current ability, another thing that can't be quickly attained.

I honestly don't know what they could achieve even if they went full throttle into your suggestions.
