Anyone else see this pathetic attempt at a coup on Venezuela?

Lol

Everyone is like "we don't know these guys". Some retired colonel in Florida claimed responsibility for organization.

2020 man.

I bet even Trump is like wtf.

Aren't there more important things to focus on with respect to Venezuela? Chavistic socialism has completely destroyed that country.

Well a real coup would be great for them. Chavistic socialism did well until Chavistic socialism died with Chavis. He had the cult of personality. He is a modern Juan Peron, someone after your own heart.

"There was no US government direct involvement in this operation," Pompeo told reporters, echoing President Donald Trump's remarks a day earlier. He added: "[If] we'd have been involved, it would have gone differently."

13 mercenaries going for a coup in a country with around 130 k soldiers

seems legit.

This seems more like some PR stunt by Maduro to say "look! i told you the Americans are trying to attack us!"

A lot of people believe this.

The two americans caught are saying outlandish things...working for DEA, Trump sent us, lol. They were wearing US flags. Totally unprofessional. At least they are identifiable as soldiers and protected by the Geneva Convention probably...as in they weren't in civilian clothing doing military stuff....that's the big no no.

I wonder if they are mentally ill or something.

A retired colonial is claiming he bankrolled it with opposition party and Colombia.

Obviously not a real coup like Erdogan survived in Turkey. Maduro is a pig and needs to go.

They had 300 colombian irregular soldiers we well, was not with them when apprehended.

What an interesting story.
