My impression is that Trump was scammed. It was long evident that he gives little attention to details and does not think things through. Most likely Bolton, Pompeo and Rubio presented him with a three step plan:Phase 1. Support the self declared president Guaid\u00f3; Phase 2: \u2026 (wishful thinking) \u2026; Phase 3: Take half of their oil!
\u2026
Bolton and Pompeo are both experienced politicians and bureaucrats. They likely knew that their plan was deeply flawed and would require much more than Trump would normally commit to. My hunch is that the soon coming mission creep was build into their plan, but that they did not reveal that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The U.S. coup planners and their Venezuelan puppets had hoped that the Venezuelan military would jump to their side. That was wishful thinking and unlikely to happen. They also thought up some \u201chumanitarian aid\u201d scheme in which pictures of trucks crossing a long blocked bridge would soon shame the Venezuelan president into stepping down. That was likewise nonsense.

Unless the U.S. is willing and able to escalate, the coup attempt is destined to fail.<\/p>\n

\u2018Western\u2019 media now recognize that phase 2 of the coup plan is in deep trouble. Today the\u00a0Guardian<\/em>,\u00a0Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0all describe growing frustration with the lack of success.<\/p>\n
