Venezuela crisis: Guaidó 'considering asking US for military intervention'

5 May 2019

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó has said he is considering asking the US to launch a military intervention in the embattled country.

Speaking to the BBC's Nick Bryant, he said he would "evaluate all options" to oust President Nicolás Maduro.

Last week he launched a failed attempt to spark a military rebellion and force Mr Maduro out of power.

The president responded by delivering an address from an army base in Caracas, flanked by soldiers.

Asked whether he would like Mr Trump and the US military to intervene, he responded it is "responsible to evaluate" the possibility of international intervention, adding: "I, as the president in charge of the national parliament, will evaluate all options if necessary."

First, he has never had a clue about politics, thought that when he "won" the whole country would joyously UNITE behind him - palm fronds parading through Jerusalem.

Surprise, SHITLER, we hate you!

So, next somebody has teachered him that when a prezdent has a bogey war out there the country will give that prezdent a 95% poll rating.

It's always been inevitable.
