    I don’t think popular support for Sheinbaum and Maduro should be underestimated. Opposition to them does exist, of course, and the US Empire is relying on it, but the reason they’ve been successful thus far lies in their popular support.

      i suspect we’re going to find out how far popular support will go once the us invades or blockades venezuela.

        I don’t think invasion is up, I think it will either be special forces units kidnapping or killing Maduro, or training death squads. They tried a mini Bay of Pigs, and they were caught by fishermen.
