“Venezuela: Failed Coup Argues for New Approach”
John Bolton insists it was not a coup because the United States recognizes Guaido. How's that for logic?
Apparently, now, Bolton is pushing hard for military action.
Even the Pentagon does not think this is a good idea, and there was apparently a very harsh and argumentative meeting between some Bolton staff fanatics and a senior Pentagon general.
I can't imagine how anyone in the United States thinks this nasty piece-of-work, Bolton, does anything but drag down into the gutter the reputation of the country throughout the world.
He's as dangerous a man as some of Hitler's associates - just as fanatical and just as violent.
Readers may enjoy my take on the coup attempt:

Response to a comment speculating about Trump’s motive in Venezuela:
Please, the attacks against Venezuela go well back into Obama’s day.
Obama was a man who always did the CIA’s bidding.
Venezuela has been under economic assault for years. Then Washington, periodically speaking out of the other side of its mouth, says, “See, what a corrupt and incompetent government that starves its own people.”
Trump’s ugly gang has just picked the pace and noise level.
America, as run by the CIA and Pentagon, is a fundamentally unfair country and one dedicated to violence to get its way.
