(4,341 posts)Because I talk to people who lived there every day, because I read about Venezuela every day, because I know people in the military who had to leave the country because they would not play their games.
I do know a lot about what happens in Venezuela. I know people from both sides, I despise those with the regime, they have betrayed their county for money, although Maduro is from Colombia but educated in Cuba, he doesn't care about Venezuela, he is a product of the Castro regime and he was placed there because he is an ignorant puppet that Castro can manipulate. Look at the videos, they don't lie.
During April 11 2002, when Chavez was ousted, a good friend of mine was walking in one of the marches, a person who was walking by him was shot between the eyes by a sniper, it could have been him. The brother of a friend of mine, a good engineer and family man, was shot in cold blood during a concentration in Plaza Bolivar in Caracas by a national guard, this happens every day in Venezuela. I don't need to show you videos, or links to articles, you can do the research yourself.
Because I have seen the military run when they get real opposition from the citizens, even when these do not have weapons. By the way, this is not a criticism on the lower ranked soldiers, most of them come from very humble families, very poor families and the military gives them a place where they can eat, and live without worries, but they are not trained well, their physical conditions are not ones that would represent a fighting soldier, they are not well educated and all they do is follow orders. Right now they follow orders from Cubans who have been placed in high ranking positions by Chavez and Maduro...by the Castro regime, actually.
I encourage you to find information, you can look at the regime's sites, but they lie, if you look at photos of participation on regime gatherings you will find Photoshop mistakes made to augment the number of participants. Look at independent videos and you will actually be impressed by the evil of the regime.
I said I would not provide links, but this one is from the BBC, and gives a glimpse of what goes on there:

Good luck.
