Pro russiagater and US-led regime change fan says Washington to unveil a new strategy in Latin America. It includes 'change' (aka US-led regime change) in #Cuba, #Venezuela. Why Venezuela? US lives are lost daily because the 'Venezuelan regime'.

Guaidó wants to take control of the security forces. No kidding. He's already tried that, remember when he summoned them to that bridge and nobody showed up? As always, he can only take over something if USA hands it to him. https://twitter.com/jguaido/status/1232840693514674176?s=19

Not Guaidó, of course. He's going to use this opportunity to claim he's a responsible citizen and call off his 'massive' (yeah, right) marches. At least he'll stop embarrassing himself with failed demonstrations.
Self-proclaimed non-president clown still pretending he is someone. He presented his 'plan': his 'ambassadors' are supposed to do something (they can't, they're not ambassadors) and USAID.

It didn't take long for the IMF to say no. "Unfortunately, the IMF is in no position to accept". https://twitter.com/EFEnoticias/status/1240132363776143360?s=19
Why? The IMF doesn't know who the president of #Venezuela is: the elected president who is ruling the country or the clown who can't even organize a protest. https://twitter.com/APjoshgoodman/status/1240109512692039680?s=19
In other words, the IMF won't loan #Venezuela money because of the US-led coup and the US sanctions. One again, sanctions are war. Sanctions kill, as the country imposing them expects.

Sanctions are sacred for USA. That's why this is not going to cut it either. #Russia, #China and a long list of sanctioned countries wrote a letter to the UN SG to politely ask USA to remove illegal sanctions, at least to fight covid. https://twitter.com/jaarreaza/status/1242986189117939712?s=19
USA doing what USA does. Bush had the 'axis of evil' phrase to smear and threaten countries he didn't like it governments he wanted to tipple. Trump has his own style, but he's doing the same to #Venezuela. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1243186353237524480?s=19

No Maduro, of course (and no chavista reps, as the NA is US-backed opposition-controlled). To counter that: no Guaidó either. The clown has shown he has no support, this would be USA getting rid of a liability. This plan is a fucking joke.
The icing on the cake: illegal sanctions (economic warfare with which they're trying to starve the Venezuelan economy and therefore its people) would be lifted once all its opponents leave USA to loot #Venezuela economy like it's 1990 all over again https://twitter.com/APjoshgoodman/status/1244949976641425409?s=20
He proclaimed himself president of the country, has repeatedly called for a coup (civil and military) and has conspired with USA to carry it out. I'd say he's a proud golpista (and puppet of the State Department) https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1244992965224865792?s=20
The country leading a (failed) coup for over a year thinks they get to name who should rule #Venezuela and the media is willing to sell their new coup plan as normal. Amazing. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1245001609307979776?s=20

Looks like Guaidó didn't get the orders from the body spelled out on this one and is flip-flopping like an idiot. https://twitter.com/venanalysis/status/1257474689573761024?s=19t
Realistic and timely solutions and apparently laughably bad Rambo wanabee ops too.
The Rambo wannabees. https://twitter.com/camilateleSUR/status/1257545708716113920?s=19
Soldiers of unfortune https://twitter.com/colonelcassad/status/1257598758390509571?s=19
Looks like a few more Rambos are still out there, waiting to be captured. A 60 men Bahía Cochinos, hardly a Bahía Cochinillos. Whatever it is they were doing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/venezuelas-maduro-says-two-americans-captured-in-failed-invasion-attempt/2020/05/04/11630f82-8e6b-11ea-9322-a29e75effc93_story.html
This is going to make Guaidó and Leopoldo's pathetic little bridge coup look like a brilliant operation.
Meanwhile lord self-proclaimed has been MIA for over a day. Waiting for the bosses to get him the script to read? Meanwhile, it's all made up by the government. Why not. It's not like the leader is in over US paper bragging of the op... https://twitter.com/jguaido/status/1257059086174126081?s=19
Obviously, Trump won't claim this operation, which makes Bahía Cochinos seem brilliant in comparison. Also, USA has externalized coup plotting. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1257681758751019010?s=19
The true victim here: US attempt to topple an elected government they hate and install an unelected puppet government. https://twitter.com/Joyce_Karam/status/1257696941464588291?s=19
First, it was a false flag; then they demanded human rights for the revolutionaries and now they're back to false flag. The Venezuelan opposition doesn't even try to make sense. https://twitter.com/EFEnoticias/status/1257723484618346504?s=19
A little twist on Guaidó's version of the story: the government knew it was coming and let it happen. Ok, what we're they supposed to do, invade Florida with a preemptive strike? https://twitter.com/EPinternacional/status/1257879289799872512?s=19
Shameless self-proclaimed. He now claims Rambo in Florida admits links to the government. What he's been telling the media is that he was hired by the opposition. https://twitter.com/diariopanorama/status/1257653773226262529?s=19
It has nothing to do with the $15 million bounty the US government put in Maduro's head either. It's not like US policy in #Venezuela it's to see Maduro dead, right? https://twitter.com/Ruptly/status/1257821238405165057?s=19
*US mercenaries openly carrying out an operation to go after the elected leader of a foreign country (which USA is trying to get killed). https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1258042338317938689?s=20
Different like that 'humanitarian aid' stunt that turned out to be (surprise!) a fiasco? https://twitter.com/lrozen/status/1258038215086428160
*If* the authorities of the country those idiotic mercenaries entered, illegally, armed, with a firm purpose of going after the president decides to hold them. I know he's used to Guaidó, but really, how stupid does Pompeo think Venezuelans are? https://news.yahoo.com/u-every-tool-secure-release-154342318.html?soc_src=strm&soc_trk=tw
When not even pro-coup Washington Post buys Guaidó's 'I have did not signed a contract with that mercenary company' story https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1257993395001339905?s=20
"The law enforcement official said Goudreau’s possible involvement in weapons smuggling stems from the March 23 seizure by police in #Colombia of a stockpile of weapons being transported in a truck" (the Clíver Alcalá affair) https://twitter.com/AP/status/1258116157753774082?s=20
They entered #Venezuela illegally, armed to go after the president (the $15 million bounty might have something to do with it). What's a better description: spring-breaker, dominguero, freedom fighter? https://twitter.com/APjoshgoodman/status/1258084484995571717?s=20
Guaidó has been very quiet these last couple of days. This might have something to do with it. His advisers are willing to go on CNN to contradict him when he said the opposition had nothing to do with Rambo-wannabee Goudreau. https://twitter.com/camilateleSUR/status/1258241717872078848?s=20
They changed their minds. Of course. And not because hiring mercenaries to kill a head of state is wrong, just because they realize he wasn't going to deliver. The Democratic Venezuelan Opposition (and the media that defends them) https://twitter.com/APjoshgoodman/status/1258194955887161346?s=20
And in the middle of this mess, Trump wants a US ambassador in #Venezuela (US diplomats got expelled after they recognized self-proclaimed coup leader as president of the country). We know what a US embassy in Caracas means. https://twitter.com/EPinternacional/status/1258235159054299136?s=20
The chosen man: head of the office of Venezuelan affairs in #Colombia (aka the office of US intervention in #Venezuela) https://twitter.com/Mision_Verdad/status/1258207057255247873?s=20
The paperwork related to the mercenary operation. Lots of specifics about goals, weapons to be used, etc. https://twitter.com/descifraguerra/status/1258311961936363520?s=20
These people are a fucking joke. Hezbollah. Why not.
Guaidó's signature is not in the contract but he appears as commander in chief of the fake army. Also, the 'chief strategist' is the guy who appeared on CNN contradicting Guaidó's version that they had nothing to do with anything.
A diverse and inclusive mercenary force. https://twitter.com/venanalysis/status/1258440405454131202?s=20
You should tell lord self-proclaimed, he keeps saying Maduro made it all up. https://twitter.com/ReutersVzla/status/1258441744103899141?s=19
¿Quién hace eso? Otro mercenario. https://twitter.com/EFEnoticias/status/1258583162604617735?s=19
This teletubbie stunt is far creepier than the low cost mercenaries. https://twitter.com/OrgJovenesVzla/status/1257763447930044416?s=20
This seems to be written to reassure everyone the US government had nothing to do with this circus that makes Bahía Cochinos look like a master plan. It may sound more believable if the real goal of the US policy in #Venezuela weren't to see Maduro dead. https://apnews.com/79346b4e428676424c0e5669c80fc310
No, you're not going to oust him, but you can kill him. Which is exactly the point of the $15 million bounty.
Because, let's remember, that a US-organized coup couldn't oust the government either.

I'm not sure if we needed to know those wannabee Rambitos puked the whole way there, but here we are. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/world/americas/venezuela-failed-overthrow.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesworld
This painfully long and not particularly well-written story to justify the saintly opposition was desperate and had to find other ways to oust the government is great. They call the pathetic bridge coup a "carefully built plot". lol. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/05/07/de-miami-venezuela-fall-el-plan-de-capturar-maduro/?_gl=1%2A1qjj9pj%2A_ga%2ANWRfOUFScDJmMC14LUVycm1SUW5qUFY4c2QySVFZRm9DSWU0QUdXRFlLcVluVmhJRHhvaFZlOVdkenY0bjA1Nw&fbclid=IwAR3tuc3xPPsDU6jBN4njOc1k2Ae9m7-ORGyrSXCozcp2aAqpZ5_vUPwEn6c
I'm not kidding about the terrible Spanish. This wants to say they were aware, but it actually means they were conscious. As in not unconscious. The difference between ser and estar is quite basic. Being unconscious, though, would explain why this operation was so laughable.
It would've been much more competent. Like last year's coup. Or the 'humanitarian aid' stunt fiasco. https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/1258749523997995008?s=20
I keep thinking that this thing was so pathetic it must be an inside job, someone in the opposition trying to make him look so bad they can finally throw him under the bus. Even the most loyal media is willing to get rid of him. https://twitter.com/MiamiHerald/status/1258581910634323969
Y Estados Unidos es a #Venezuela lo que Estados Unidos fue a #Nicaragua. https://twitter.com/ErikaOSanoja/status/1258783133543137280?s=20
