Okay, let’s leave the democracy part out. You take one word out of context and completely ignore the question, “ Can you name even one country in which the same tactics have resulted in anything but death and destruction? Just one?”

You state how Maduro is squashing any form of dissent, yet we see protests by the opposition on a daily basis. We rarely see images of the much larger pro-government rallies filling the streets.

You neglect to mention that Lopez has been in prison for 5 years for corruption and criminality.

So, thank you very much for that pro-intervention, pro-Trump, pro-capitalist, pro-regime change opinion piece disguised as something else, along with your denial of doing so.
