Maduro was prevented from leaving Venezuela by Russia? That figures. Russia has it's own agenda for Venezuela. Additionally, the new president would expect to return all the Russian jets and munitions with a full refund of a trillion dollars from Russia.
Maduro needs to authorize another country's jet to land and transport him anywhere he wants to go. The alternative is to allow Maduro to travel by land to another South American country. He needs to pack now.
I am confident there is another South American country that can provide Maduro with a safe haven until a permanent place can be arranged.
Idi Amin ultimately was exiled to Saudi Arabia where he was provided comfortable accommodations and a subsidy to allow him a comfortable life with his family. The condition was that he would not return to politics.

$2,000,000,000,000 for infrastructure?
That is $36,363,636,363.60 per state and territory.
Maybe words will make more sense.
Thirty-six billion, three hundred and sixty-three million, six hundred and
thirty-six thousand, three hundred and sixty-three dollars and sixty cents.
For roads and bridges?
The USA has 614,387 bridges in the country. About 40 percent are older
than 50 years old. In 2016 less than 10 percent were found to be structurally
unsound.

All that funding won't mean a thing if the infrastructure is not assessed for the climate crisis. It will be a waste of money otherwise. I see only USA companies receiving the contracts.
Puerto Rico has to be at the top of the list.
That kind of money also needs to be completely accounted for as it leaves the US Treasury.

These two sites were organized by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
That amount of money beats the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. What happened to the private-public infrastructure bank?
The $2 trillion has to be paid for by elite taxes. The Middle Class is not to be burdened with additional deficit spending.

This is how ridiculously two faced Russia is.
In the USA, their hackers and KGB activists will seek to raise the sphere of hate between African American men and the police by stating unarmed African Amerian men are being shot in the USA. Fair enough. There are plenty of Americans making those statements so there is no need for Russians to do that.
But, Russia will back a regime in Venezuela armed with all kinds of Russian manufactured weapons to use them on unarmed people.
There is no consistency to the Russian message to the world, except, brinkmanship all the time.
Russians on the internet as agents for the Russian government seek only control of people and governments, not human rights.

Venezuelan opposition leader Guaidó calls for coup against Maduro (click here for additional facts - thank you)
Maduro is not a good president. He had no insight to understand the oil market and it's crash and what that meant to a mono-economy relying on only one commodity to buoy the economy. The socialism practiced by him failed with the collapse of oil. Even Saudi Arabia saw this coming.
The people of Venezuela have always lived with the idea their leader was in control of government power. As long as the life in Venezuela was still orderly, sufficient and allowed their belief system, they were okay. Not necessarily living the exact life they wanted, but, they were okay. Then the unthinkable happened their mono-economy collapsed. There was no insight to such collapes, everything had gone along as it always had and then one day it was all different and the leadership was in chaos.
Maduro didn't go to the United Nations to plead his case, he didn't look for other regional countries to find example of what was working for them. He reached out foolishly to Russia as has Cuba and this is the result. From that time to today, the circumstances of the Venezuelan people have only gotten worse. What did Russia expect? Oh, yeah, I forgot they always expect times to get worse and then real Russian leadership demands using military might against unarmed people. ie: Ukraine.
Is there any wonder the Venezuelan people are turning away from Maduro more and more. The demonstrations today only continue to say the people of this beautiful country completely reject Maduro and his strong man tactics. There is no reason for the Maduro government to use military humvees and bullets against the people. The people are not violent. They are upset their lives are not respected. They have no munitions and only seek to be heard. They want a change of leadership and it is completely reasonable they do.
The Venezuelan people need food, clothing, clean water and medical care. They want their electricity to be reliable so they alone can move their economy forward by building it from the ground up. They can do this. They are great people. They know their own minds. They know their own hearts. Maduro needs to stop trying to control people that he doesn't even feed or provide a reliable electrical grid for their ambitions.
The world is watching and I profoundly hope the world realizes the wayward leadership that results from Russian profit-taking by providing war machines rather than humanitarian aid and economic guidance. Venezuela needs allies. It needs allies that will come as tourists and not soldiers.

Venezuela: National Guard armored vehicles drive into protestors (click here for live updates - thank you)
I take it this isn't rush hour and the economy is booming. This is not a coup. The people have a very important demand for democracy and freedom and they are upset their lives mean so little to the man in power.
