Another sobering lesson to take from the failure of Venezuela policy is that absolutely no one in Washington that cheered on this disaster will pay any price for their support.
I wonder how much longer the U.S. and U.S. politicians will be able to get away with such outrages. Whenever I read about coups or attempted coups, I always suspect U.S. involvement. There does appear to be evidence of weakening U.S. clout and increasing U.S. incompetence. The Western economic sanctions war against Russia is backfiring badly in Europe no doubt exacerbated by the effective ouster of other major oil suppliers (Libya, Iran, Venezuela) from international oil markets by the U.S. And recent U.S. backed coups attempts (e.g. Brazil and Venezuela) have been turned back.
The US never takes sides in internal disputes of other countries. The US always and solely takes the side of the hegemon and its interests.
Ignoring experts and using self-serving ideological exiles and their Congressional allies is a US historical intentional tactic to placate critics. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
The US works its "magic" out of US embassies world wide and it is likely that Guaido's claim to the interim presidency was hatched and passed along from that site. If not hatched there, it was approved, encouraged and financed from there.
Trump's actions were far from unique and were consistent with historical precedence.
If US attempts fail, its intent is indeed to leave the citizens worse off as a lesson to other countries to not oppose the US efforts in their countries. This is a mafia tactic. Cuban people have suffered seven decades of being worse off and the beatings go on and on like the marching and drumming Energizer Battery Bunny Rabbit proudly beating the drums of its exceptionality.
