There's no power change, the core of your whole post is wrong

All of Maduro's people are still in power and the president just said the woman who actually won the vote is not suitable to be in charge

Good luck with the US running another country when we are cratering ourselves

Impeach him and send him to the Hague for trial if this was so justified

BTW they are now talking about Cuba, we are headed for WW3 by 2028

Apparently, the Venezuelan vice president has sold out her country or is acting out of duress because she has allegedly offered full cooperation with the US. That could be a viable way to a US-led military/CIA dictatorship there, if the Venezuelan military and police around her allows it to happen. She seems to be in the line of succession. That seems to be the current "plan."

Yes, she has no democratic base since Maduro took power via election fraud. Watch the media to see if they just copy the feeds from the press agency, or that they will do the work they should actually be doing and put what-is-actually-going-on in focus.

The fourth estate xor corporate media.

source? all that is being reported is her asking for proof of life and him back

That information is outdated by now. The assessment was based on Trump's claim that the US will work together directly with her instead of Machado, whom he considers unfit to be president right now. It was an attempt of giving a rational explanation of Trump's and Rubio's press conference. I assumed that in order for their statements to make sense there would have to be some backdoor deal with her. However, she has given a speech now condemning the attack and refuting the US narrative (although, leaving some door open for diplomacy).

I can't edit the original comment any longer so I hope people read this one. In any case, the situation is still very fluid.

And Mexico, he just talked about it.
