Indications
that the US incite a Chile-type coup
“The
Plan’s 15 “action points” cover sabotage, “massive
mobilizations,” food shortages, “insurrection inside the army,”
and control of publicity. The authors anticipate “crisis in the
streets that facilitate the intervention of North America and the
forces of NATO, with support of the government of Colombia.” The
resulting 'violence should cause deaths and injuries.'”
“Venezuelan,
European, and U.S. mass media feature stories of popular frustration,
even anger. Worried Maduro partisans recall Chilean distress prior to
the U. S. supported coup that removed President Salvador Allende in
1973. The Nixon administration wanted then to “make Chile’s
economy scream.” A statement from 45 high-level retired Venezuelan
military officers calling for military intervention testifies to high
stakes in play now.”
“NSA
documents appearing recently in the New York Times courtesy of Edward
Snowden identified Venezuela as one of six “enduring targets” for
electronic eavesdropping
in 2007. (Others were China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and
Russia.) The strategic goal then – and probably now – was to
prevent Venezuela 'from achieving its regional leadership objective
and pursuing policies that negatively impact US global interests.'”
“Maduro’s
government recently expelled three U.S. diplomats on charges they
conspired with opposition groups with intent to destabilize. Neither
country has posted an ambassador to its counterpart nation for three
years.”

Why doesn't the US just f... off and leave other countries to solve their own problems? It is not like the US is a shining example of democracy or human rights
