I've been traveling South America including Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Brazil. There are no good guys anywhere. A lot of the low wage labor come from Venezuela, and in the case of southern Brazil, Cuba. In Lima, Peru it is impossible to take an Uber without having to hear about how much a shit Maduro is. The crisis has strongly affected all countries in South America and if the Venezuelans are able return home and democratically elect a new regime it will be better for everybody.
If Venezuelans will end up with fair elections, it will be a good result from a bad action.
But knowing the usual modus operandi in SA, a dictator is more likely to be installed than not.
Because the oil seems to be the main discussion topic, it is fair to assume that there are no fair elections or own decision power anytime soon.
Just like how the US installed a dictator in Iraq?
Iraq is really the gotcha you want to lead with?
Is Iraq in SA?
Laughs in Pinochet
Pinochet was a bloody dictator who left the power willingly and callibg elections. Something Maduro wasn't willing to do in +20 years.
