Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Jim Risch  yesterday called on the media not to use the term “self-proclaimed president” for Juan Guaidó instead of "interim president." The media will certainly take that request seriously. In the committee’s hearings yesterday, “special envoy” Elliott Abrams stated that the U.S. government has tried to convince all U.S. allies in Europe and Latin America to ratchet up sanctions and also to expel the families of Venezuelan government heads. A proposal was also introduced that threatens reprisals against Turkey due to its commercial relations with Venezuela. The war on Venezuela is all-encompassing; it’s not just an “economic war.”  And the Venezuelan opposition, at least the current that Guaidó heads, is completely on board with everything that is being done including the threats of military intervention. The following is an article of mine on the overlap between Trump and the Venezuelan opposition.
