Hours after an audacious military operation that plucked leader Nicolás Maduro from power and removed him from the country, President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil reserves to sell to other nations. The dramatic action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on the South American nation and its autocratic leader and months of secret planning resulting in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Venezuela’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez demanded in a speech that the U.S. free Maduro and called him the country’s rightful leader, before Venezuela’s high court ordered her to assume the role of interim president.
Thing is, will it? The Venezuelan state still seems to be running itself, with vice president and ministers still occupying their posts. Maduro himself isn’t some embodiment of PSUV and the party can continue existing and governing without him.
Simply kidnapping Maduro without leaving behind boots on ground does very little besides intimidation. That can work for extracting concessions, but not for ruling a country. Either the rumoured second attack is coming soon or this might be negotiation tactics for full privatisation of the oil but leaving the government be.
I wouldn’t trust Rubio until any evidence comes out of Venezuela. There’s no official confirmation of her being sworn in as president (official outlets still refer to her as vice president, which is how it legally works) and she’s still a proponent of Chavismo. At any rate, even if she turns coat there’ll at least be a power struggle with PSUV, specially with the MoD announcing full scale mobilisations.
So, did they really managed their coup? Like the whole hope is lost, and all the build up was for nothing? (Like all the equipment that were bought, all the people, etc).
Im having a mental breakdown over this circus of the world and i wanna hear someone killing imperialism along with its soldiers

I agree, they want to start some sort of civil war by capturing Maduro and running a parallel goverment likely with the nobel prize witch.

Delcy Rodriguez seems alive and well, and not enthused with collaboration with the US.

Edit:
As I wrote that, there was an update
Vicepresidenta de Venezuela: «aquí hay un solo presidente, y se llama Nicolás Maduro»
Trump can claim whatever he likes, he is not the arbitor of truth.

The US will not say anything that remotely seems like a weakness so take with a grain of salt whatever their parrots in suits say.
