RE:RE:RE:RE:SellersIf only it were that simple. Maduro will always get $$$ from oil, enough to make sure the army is paid. Cubans will make sure he is well protected. More Cubans will infiltrate / watch over the army and everyone else to make sure they stay in line.
Essentially, Venezuela is a Cuban colony with Maduro as the puppet point man. The Cubans are much better at keeping their colony in line than the British or French ever were.
And if that weren't enough, they have the unfettered support of Russia, China, and Iran.

When you view it in that context, the opposition cleverly collecting proof that they got more votes was a great triumph. Maduro was never going to be dislodged but now, instead of the world merely SUSPECTING the result was a fraud, now the world KNOWS that the result was a fraud.
For Maduro and his Cuban overseers that is a real problem. For starters, it appears to be costing them the support of countries all over Latin America. Plus, the Venezuelan people themselves now know that any claims from Maduro of popular support at home are nothing but a bad joke. They know that he's nothing more than the militarily propped-up boss of an entirely subjugated people.
