Venezuela, crónica de una desestabilización, 1

Upon Chávez's death, and in order to definitively neutralize the "Bolivarian revolution," the radical sectors of the opposition pledged to prevent his successor Maduro, although democratically elected, from consolidating his power at any cost: they launched violent urban guerrilla offensives in 2014 and 2017. In October 2015, the head of the United States Army Southern Command, General John Kelly, stated: "If there is a major humanitarian crisis, that is, a collapse of the economy, to the point that Venezuelans desperately need food, water... then we could react... ". Washington had implicitly announced it, Washington did! This is called a fulfilled prophecy... A new kind of unconventional war brought the country to its knees with the world's first oil resources.
