      That last tweet is definitely a lie lmao, though the next guy might let them stick a fat military base there for the favour.

        Unlikely, the working class supported the government and Maduro, it was only the fascist compradors that opposed him in significant numbers. The government still holds, and will likely place a backuo until the next elections. Coups don’t really work without popular support or more direct millitary intervention domestically (see Pinochet with Allende).
