Juan Guaidó today called for an uprising in Venezuela to overthrow Nicolas Maduro whose forces are bolstered by Russian and Iranian troops. Maduro has also armed rogue gangsters to support his forces.
Guaidó said the “moment is now.” He also told the citizens that the commanders of the ZODI have given him their support.
Some call Juan Guaidó the Interim President. He assumed the presidency under Venezuela’s Constitution and laws, and, according to supporters, is restoring democracy.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted his full support of Guaidó’s Operación Libertad.
NATIONAL GUARD ARE FIGHTING NATIONAL GUARD IN THE STREETS
The people gave up their guns six years ago and are forced to fight with rocks, bottles, whatever they can find.
There are major clashes going on now, watch live:

Moments like these, I wish I was back there, fighting for my lost homeland. As an immigrant, I know that I’ll know only hard work on foreign soils in my future, but will invest back in #Venezuela as soon as a new system is in place. pic.twitter.com/pvTPi2guVt

Be a nice time for Trump to arrange for the citizens of Venezuela to be shipped some arms. Make some phone calls to the President of Brazil and see if he can send a month’s worth of Taurus handguns and rifles and to Argentina to see if any Bersa handguns are available.
Launch a few cruise missiles into strategic locations in Miraflores. Try and take out the Fat man and a few of his henchmen.
