Reply to comment by reyxe in The Venezuelan opposition on Friday dissolved the "interim government" led by Juan Guaido, once the popular and internationally recognized face of the drive to oust leftist leader Nicolas Maduro by DoremusJessup

You live in Venezuela and you're here on reddit saying shit like

>USA hasn't ever been involved in Venezuela at all

Are you an American living in Venezuela? It's difficult to believe any Venezuelan who knows their history would say something so wrong. Its not a secret that the US funded this coup just like it's no secret they funded the coup in '48. Do you know where Jiminez fled to safety when actual Venezuelans threw him out and restored democracy? The last American president openly put a price on Maduro's head and everyone knows about the USAID jackpot that awaited Guaido. Even if you pretend the multiple coups never happened, you can't escape the fact that the US was all too happy to be Chavez and Maduros most important trade partners-- whether it was toppling Venezuelas govts or supporting their dictators, the US has always been involved in Venezuela and you embarrass yourself saying otherwise.

Lmao I've lived here my entire life dude, you know Jack shit.

Angarita was a populist, Jimenez was a dictatorship and got coup'd too, funny how you say USA weren't involved then but "actual Venezuelans" when the governments after him were really close with them.

Everything you mentioned is fairly recent. USA was never involved against Chávez, or even Maduro until sanctions.

Do they have the phrase "moving the goal posts" in Venezuela? Did you just forget that Jimenez' dictatorship was funded by America? I guess you've lived there all your life but maybe you're only like 10 years old and so all of that is ancient history to you.

American oil owns Venezuela-- that's called being involved. American oil owned and funded Chavez just like it owned and funded Jimenez. No matter what side you're on, the unavoidable fact is that America is always involved, and if things aren't going the way they want, they'll assassinate your leaders or fund a coup. Learn your history.

Holy fuck a coup 50 years ago won't have effect on current crisis specially when the entire political system has changed since then.

Jimenez dictatorship funded by USA LMAO, that just shows you know nothing about that period.
