Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You're alleging that an entire military command collaborated with their enemy. You'll have to provide some proof for that.

Ha ha, yeah, a military coup sponsored by the US, it's unheard of! Why would I give a shit what some bootlicker thinks though?

Yes, it could be a military coup. It could also be the US using classified alien technology they found in the Bermuda Triangle.

But the simplest explanation is that Trump / Rubio were angry at Venezuela, their generals told them a ground war would be Vietnam 2.0, and that it would be safer to kill / kidnap one of their leaders and declare victory. The US can do this - Venezuela has one modern Russian-made air-defence battery (see MarmiteLover's posts in the news threads) and that can't cover the entire country. (Older systems won't work against the modern US military.)

That's a good question, and a funny one coming from you.

Uh huh. As if Russia wasn't sponsoring facists across the west, supporting the US regime.

You just keep spinning off to some other claim instead of supporting the positions you've already brought up. You have to bring substance or your words are farts.

You see, nobody gives a shit what you think

You are expressing a (perfectly justified) fear you have in your heart projection
