Combined with a coup.

  Is it a coup? Maduros government is still in control

      It is not under US control though. The new president is simply playing each side

        She knows fully well where she’ll end up if she doesn’t play ball and allow the US to do whatever they want. That’s not what I’d call being in control. All that’s left is a varnish of legality.

          Where do you think she will end up if the Venezuelan army don't like her direction? 6 feet under the jungle I expect. Playing both sides

          Remotely? That is just making him feel like he is in control. She says yes to everything he says, and then keeps doing the corruption
