So is Maduro in or out?

[justoffal]

I'm just reading today that the United States is recognizing his opponent as the legitimate leader of the country. However if Maduro is still controlling the military that recognition doesn't mean much. So where does all of this lead? Anyone have an idea?

If the military are willing to back him then there's no way the people can remove him. They could rise up in revolution but many would be killed. It just depends on how angry and creative the people actually are. We may get to see our own version of this after November.

or the military or Maduro's para-military types can kill off enough of the dissidents to cow the rest into giving up.

I dunno.... Harris is close enough for them to steal it.

I would expect the uprising if Trump wins but not if he doesn't.

It could become the meeting of superpowers that will result in the slaughter of the people. There's no way America can allow the country to become allied with the Brics.

It will however bring up the question on America's presence in China's and Russia's sphere of influence.

Issues could now extend to involving several other countries?

Cuba? S.K? Iran? the Ukraine? the Zionist regime?

This is the world's future of proxy wars being started by America.

Looks like Maduro is going with Dictator Option A: Fight it out.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced plans to repurpose two existing prisons to incarcerate the more than 1,200 people who were arrested during protests against the government's decision to claim victory in the elections despite a lack of backing documents..

"I am preparing two prisons, which I must have ready in 15 days, they were already being prepared (Tocorón and Tocuyito), and all the guarimberos (violent protesters) will go to these prisons."

At one point in the press conference, Saab gave his opinion about the effect detentions are having on the Venezuelan society:

"Moments like this one are actually good because they cleanse society, they show who are the ones with this sick mentality and who are the ones who don't want any of this."

It's probably going to depend on Russia and/or China to uphold the democratic election. This being in America's sphere of influence, makes it a very likely flash point!

Are Russia and/or China ready to take a stand?

Or will they allow America to win the country, and assert their power on countries in their own sphere of influence.

There should be no doubt that America is prepared to overthrow another democratic election, as we have recently seen happen in the Ukraine.

Indeed, Chavez first disarmed Venazuelans. It's no longer legal to own a firearm.Maduro fired his supreme Court and put his own people in place. Then Maduro went after his political rivals and jailed them. Now Maduro controls how the votes are counted and especially who is counting the votes.
Wow! That sounds like a Democrat Beo-Marxist dream for America.

Considering the massive amount of hydrocarbon wealth that Venezuela is sitting on I would expect it will be a hotly contested issue.

It ends in the usual manner. Biden and the left will condemn the election is the strongest possible terms, only recognize the opposition, and Maduro will keep on being the leader.

The United States has seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's plane in the Dominican Republic and sent it to Florida, CNN reported.

"The United States sent the plane to Florida on Monday, according to two American officials. It's the latest development in long-chilled relations between the United States and Venezuela, and its arrest in the Dominican Republic marks an escalation as the United States continues to investigate what it sees as corruption by the Venezuelan government," the channel reported.

One of the channel's interlocutors from the administration of US President Joe Biden also emphasized that the purpose of the action was to demonstrate to the Venezuelan authorities that "no one is above the law."

Earlier, the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said that EU foreign ministers had decided not to recognize Maduro as the democratically elected president of Venezuela. The politician, therefore, lacks "democratic legitimacy," he noted. At the same time, Borrell acknowledged that Maduro will remain the de facto president of Venezuela.

Sounds like a problem for Venezuela to solve. It is their election, our say should be meaningless. Especially since this failed administration whines about foreign interference here, clueless hypocrites.
