Venezuela

The liberal BBC is not only putting the blame mainly on Maduro, but ignores any alternative. 

If it is not about a regime change to replace the current regime with a pliant U.S. ally and open the country to privatisation for more local and foreign capital, why don't other countries (which are not subordinate the the American hegemony), or international agencies negotiate with the Venezuelan government to create a "humanitarian zone" to provide aid in both Venezuela and Colombia?

What the U.S. and  the opposition are trying to do now is to split the Venezuelan army or push a faction in it to overthrow Maduro. And we all know what that might lead to. One does not have to look at Syria and how army defectors did not tilt the balance for those who rose up against al-assad's repressive machine. Worse, this is not an uprising or a revolution in Venezuela. 

We have been here before. The day the current situation escalates to an armed conflict, more media and political attacks on Maduro and his government will follow. Then any alternative that had been put forward or anyone who said no to imperialist involvement will be sidelined...

...and another another spectacle begins.
