There is some uncertainty, for sure, but after you learn to live with it, you get to relive the dissonance each an every time a skull gets smashed, a body thrown down a well, or a family is murdered, mutilated, and set up in a macabre diorama.

Millions of innocent Venezuelans are fleeing Maduros torture camps each day. Plus he lost the election!!

lmao that there's a big Venezuelan refugee community in Colombia struggling in abject poverty, and they just let 60% of the aid in Cucuta go rotten because it was pure political theater.

yeah that's true but like meanwhile the active sonar used by all navies in the world is deadly to marine life within hundreds of miles of its use hahaquote:Sonar systems—first developed by the U.S. Navy to detect enemy submarines—generate slow-rolling sound waves topping out at around 235 decibels; the world’s loudest rock bands top out at only 130. These sound waves can travel for hundreds of miles under water, and can retain an intensity of 140 decibels as far as 300 miles from their source. quote:Two lower courts upheld NRDC’s claims, but the Supreme Court ruled that the Navy should be allowed to continue the use of some mid-frequency sonar testing for the sake of national security. “The decision places marine mammals at greater risk of serious and needless harm,” says NRDC’s Joel Reynolds. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-military-sonar-kill/ quote:That can interfere over hundreds of miles with some marine mammals like whales, dolphins, and walruses that rely on underwater sound for navigating, catching prey, and communicating. LFA sonar can harm the animals by interrupting mating, stopping communication, causing them to separate from calves, and inflicting stress. Sounds above 180 dB can disrupt the animals’ hearing and cause physical injury. In 2005, 34 whales became stranded and died off in North Carolina because of nearby offshore Navy sonar training, according to Scientific American.

I've heard the theory that a lot of the generals were double agents, telling guaido they supported him in order to draw out a failed coup attempt. But has anyone considered the theory that guaido himself is a double agent?

there's a theory out there (a bit of a crazy one if you ask me) that he is not only an agent of the people of his constituency but also that he represents the pan-american financial interests of a wealthy minority.
