Simon Bolivar is turning over in his grave

in data
Is Venezuela the Americas' Greece or Greece the Europe's Venezuela? Timeline suggests the first one. If greek finances are comparable to a rope whose acrobat is riding on a bike, venezuelan finances are comparable to one hundred trillion zimbabwean dollars. Therefore, the government has issued a pseudo-cryptocurrency (centralized isn't the definition of crypto).
"The Petro is a tool of mass surveillance" is scaremongering, fiat currencies are a certified tool of mass surveillance. The political situation goes likewise: there's an official government and a parallel government. The second one, unable to size power through democratic means, declares itself the official one and lobbies the West for sanctions against its own people. Because, to be clear, you can be against your decision makers but not against your nation: civic opposition is ok, treason isn't ok. The «parallel government» of Juan Guaido is into the second basket, getting to the point of recruiting mercenaries to assassinate Nicolas Maduro and his subordinates. 
His curriculum isn't this sophisticated but wasn't even a newbie. 91 putschists were captured, among them: GNB and FANB deserters, u.s mercenaries and canadian Rambo wannabe Jordan Goudreau. Army deserters are the classic cash-strapped fathers that will do everything for 30 pieces of silver, foreign mercenaries are hungry for the U.S State Department's bounties. What raised my eyebrowns was the partecipation of Martin Eduardo Alvarez Garcia, a close friend of Hugo Chavez's children (many of his friends weren't actually friend, Leamsy Salazer is the most infamous one).
To sum up, the contract allowed the invaders to engage in «kinetic strikes» (a.k.a killings) against: paramilitary organizations like the colombian FARC, Hezbollah and in general "illegitimate venezuelan forces"; collectivos (that the elitist opposition refers to working-class people) and in general anti-Guaido regime supporters once the coup is successfully completed. AC-130s allowed, in theory private military companies cannot deploy them without the u.s military consent. Silvercorp was supposed to convert into a death squad that would respond solely to the presidential administration, having as task counter-terrorism when it liked. But Guaido isn't known just for jumping over fences, is also a bad payer.
Being misled isn't a valid excuse for invasions. All of this has a director: a former adviser of many anti-Venezuela parties around Latin America. Don't worry, he said that he will continue to conspire against his (?) nation behind the scenes.
Colombia's hostility reached the peak during the presidency of alleged narco president Alvaro Uribe, who's also under investigation at home, although the two share a common history. "Simon Bolivar is the nation's hero beyond dispute but that computer-generated portrait has to go" is like czechs saying that Ivan Konev has liberated them from the nazis is beyond dispute but that statue in Prague has to go.
