I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

It takes more than 7 people to produce a fighter jet.

It takes more than 7 people to launch, fly, and navigate a fighter jet.

It takes more than 7 people to kidnap an acting head of state.

The US military is complicit. The US military infustrustrial complex is complicit.

I'm not sure if I would consider US voters complicit, most of us are rendered powerless by the current electoral system, but we've sure got a lot of blood on our hands.
