A Coup in Venezuela? That Word Is Best Avoided in This Situation bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
American person: Hello
Venezuelans in the US: ITS NOT A COUP THERES NO ELECTRICITY OR WATER AND 3,000% INFLATION HE WAS ELECTED IN 2015 PEOPLE ARE STARVING AND DEATH SQUADS AND WE ALREADY SELL OIL TO THE US AND MEDIA CENSORSHIP AND CUBA CHINA RUSSIA
Before you continue saying the US only wants #venezuela’s oil, keep in mind that throughout all these years the US has basically been the only source of income to vzla by buying oil. Nothing will change with your so-called “coup”
Hypothetical case #venezuela:
Donald Trump bars Democrats from running on his re-election and wins. International bodies then fail to recognize his re-election. On inauguration, the head of congress is now the interim president, since the election was declared a sham.
In one corner:
Army defectors and civilians supporting the constitutionally-appointed interim president. Backed by the majority of the world’s democracies. So far no external military intervention whatsoever.

*sigh*
If you are an outsider to the situation: Before you tweet about #venezuela today, please reach out to a venezuelan today and ask them what they think. #askavenezuelan

My friend’s boyfriend is taking him to #AvengersEndgame, and he has no clue what’s going on. He’s asked me to get him caught up. I was born for this.
