US fomenting a civil war, coup in Venezuela
[PRESSTV] The United States is attempting to push Venezuela in to a civil war by recognizing un-elected opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president, an American human rights...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... expert and peace activist says. "Clearly they’re trying to foment a coup and possibly push the country into civil war," said Daniel Kovalik, who teaches international human rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in the state of Pennsylvania. "They’re recognizing someone who wasn’t only not elected, he didn’t even run for office," Kovalik told Press TV on Thursday. Guaido, the president of Venezuela's opposition-led National Assembly, declared himself interim president of the country on Wednesday, and was immediately recognized by the administration of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... . "There’s no constitutional basis in Venezuela for this man to announce that he’s president and there’s no basis for Trump to recognize him," Kovalik said. "So clearly the US is behind this, as they have been behind so many coups in Latin America in the past century or more," he added. Shortly after Trump's recognition of Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president, President Nicolas Maduro  Venezuela's attempt at producing a Muammar Qadaffy...said he was severing diplomatic and political ties with Washington, claiming that the US has given "orders" for a coup in the socialist Latin American country.
