Maduro says he will place anti-aircraft weapons in the barrios

10. I'm not questioning whether the Brothers to the Rescue are real or not or if they'd like to invade

What I'm questioning is how the hell do you think such an invasion would make sense in today's world, where everybody has a phone with a camera, or think it would be even a considerable plot by those overzealous idiots to carry out.

Besides, considering how the US is getting the oil it needs from Venezuela (which is really not a lot now), the last thing the US government would want is getting involved militarily against another government that provides said oil (which requires almost too much work to process than its worth to begin with), especially one that is so close to its borders. Selling oil to the US is pretty much the only thing that is (barely) keeping the Venezuelan economy afloat, and yet you hear so many slurs from Maduro and co. condemning the Gringos whenever they can, claiming that they're responsible for all of Venezuela's problems, even though the Chavista government is almost solely dependent on the US buying Venezuelan oil and has been in power for 15 years now, with record oil prices even, and yet the economy is starting to collapse. And the only ones responsible for that are the government which has been running the show for more than a decade, especially when you consider how they've expropriated so many private-sector enterprises and run most of the production in the country. They've pretty much dug their own graves, and now it's only a matter of time before the Venezuelan people can't fucking take the current state of affairs anymore and overthrow the fascists in power.
