What will happen when Maduro flees Venezuela with all the gold he can carry?

Whats everyones opinion on what comes next? Will Guaido be able to just take over and start to return the country to common sense?
And will there still be folks here who will still defend Maduro even as he robs the nation?

I remember right when the syrian civil-war started. When it was small and an internal affair. ISIS, Al-Qaeda and all the rest had not joined yet.

The Arabic League asked the US to intervene in Syria.

To repeat: The Arabic League, the paper-tiger who loves to wax about freedom and who refuses ever take a hard stance on anything, asked the US to invade an arabic country and to stop the civil-war there.

IF it happens, that is.
Other legitimate countries are already recognizing Guaido now, with Maduro still there.

Because the one in 2002 was home grown with minimal US involvement.
Hugo himself said:
"Chávez would also state after the coup that there was "little evidence" that the United States orchestrated the plan."
I doubt you know more about it then he did.
