Strangely this came up in the latest fraudian piece on the coup attempt. I posted this in the Newsnight thread near the top of the page: Anti-Maduro protests continued, with thousands taking to the streets again on Wednesday. In a sign of possible weakness, Maduro had made no attempt to permanently “knee-cap” the opposition with repression; demonstrators had not been cowed and the opposition maintained significant international support. “Dislodging a dictatorship that controls all the territory and monopolizes the use of force is difficult … But transitions often come unexpectedly and unexpectedly fast,” Gedan said, pointing to the recent uprisings in Sudan and Algeria. In the space of two paragraphs he's weak for not repressing the opposition then a dictator who monopolizes the use of force...it's breathtaking bullshit. I actually wonder if they are trying to goad him into taking Guaido into custody or otherwise "clamp down" on his antics as a pretext to ramp things up. It's good to see them fail so dismally in any case.
