  • You said "the US absolutely has the power to disrupt all government services and society if it wanted to", but, uh, do they have that power?

    Well it seems bizarre to suggest that they have the power to kidnap the President but don't have the power to disrupt anything else related to the government. The US and Israel killed a lot of government and military officials and were temporarily able to degrade Iranian government services during the twelve day war. The US doesn't seem to have even tried to do that here.

  • If you actually read the thing I wrote, you'd know I'm not just going off what they're saying, but what they've DONE! The ENTIRE REST OF THE PSUV GOVERNMENT IS PERFECTLY INTACT! That indicates strongly that they're working with them. We know what straightforward regime change attempts look like, and they don't look like this!

  • Seems based on what?

    Based on the fact that they left the rest of the government entirely alone, like I said in the rest of the post!

  • I can't find a source, but I remember reading that even before this ramp up started, Maduro messaged that he was willing to work with the US on the Venezuelan oil industry. If true, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch that the rest of the PSUV would be willing to do the same thing.

  • I know people disagreed with the things I said earlier, but now that the dust has settled, it seems like the US just removed Maduro over a personality clash, or just because they got too caught up in their own narrative that he's a drug trafficker, but they're totally cool with the rest of the PSUV government just continuing to run Venezuela? And it seems like the PSUV is just going to go along with that? And they might just let the Americans run their oil industry and maybe cut off oil to Cuba in exchange for being left alone otherwise?

    Because the Venezuelan government does not seem to be disrupted in any way apart from the US just taking Maduro and his wife. Everything else is continuing as normal, and the US absolutely has the power to disrupt all government services and society if it wanted to.

  • The clear indication is that US was able to just fly a fleet of helicopters into Caracas and take Maduro with NO AA resistance. It's absurd, and only makes sense if the government was complicit.

  • Saw an analysis that said the Venezuelans just gave up Maduro so they could give some concessions to US oil companies, the US could disengage and everything could resume as business as usual. Seems disturbingly plausible.

  • There doesn't seem to have been so much as a shoulder fired missile used to defend the country. The US is openly saying they're in discussions with the Vice President about the transition to new elections while also saying they're "running the country." There has to be collaboration at the top in order for this to work.

  • So nothing about this makes sense unless the PSUV has betrayed the country, right? That's the only way they can actually pull this off?

  • I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure dragons are the only real fantasy "race," and the way she handles them is to make them kind of alien and difficult to understand. They're more of a force of nature, so they don't map on to human social dynamics in any troubling way.
