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."

1. Trump is waiting for TSHTF to use a military invasion as a "Wag the Dog" distraction

If he does, and if Congress doesn't move to impeach...I can't put my thoughts here.

2. Why should he bother? After all, Juan Guaid already said he is the "President in charge..."

He can just ask Juan Guaidó to allow US oil companies to rape Venezuela and take all the oil all over again, while paying almost NO taxes.
