US law enforcement officials blocked off the entrance of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington on Tuesday amid ongoing protests over the handling of the crisis in the Latin American country, a Sputnik correspondent reported from the embassy.
About 30 policemen with handcuffs arrived at the Venezuelan Embassy, which has been occupied by activists for more than two weeks, blocking the entrance from 30th Street.

A few thoughts:
1. If Guaido doesn't have the support of the army, and it looks like he doesn't at the moment, this will surely fail.
2. Monstrous as Maduro is, it's not clear that the opposition would be better; democratic socialism is no better than dictatorial socialism.
3. As an ethical matter, which side the people support is irrelevant; whichever side will govern most liberally should win, popular or otherwise.
4. If a foreign state were to intervene, so as to improve the outcome, that would be good (see above), though that isn't likely to happen.
It's a purposely inept op, Trump is just tripping up the neo-cons. Trust the plan.

Like I said, Chavez was too kind to the 2003 coup instigators.
Maduro has been handed war.
Now the bus driver has to be the warrior Chavez appeared to be.
This makes me sick.
Brazenly backing a military coup, without the slightest sniff of irony.
Gonna be an interesting 2020.
I hate the darkness ahead.
But we always come out a greater and smarter race in the end.
I don't care about the useful idiots in between the large tire treads.
Yellow Jackets been going for months, media silence.
Yes, I know my enemies.

We must appreciate that the only sustainable freedom is freedom won by those who yearn to live it. Direct US military involvement risks allowing Maduro to externalize conflict, scapegoat his failures, and delegitimize the organic desire of Venezuelans to choose their own future.

Oh its the old two side of same coin mind trick.
Narrative Guiding question: Does Saddam have WMD's or no?
real question: if he did, would he use them at risk of nuclear annihilation?
Narrative Question: Should we bomb Saddam now, or wait for mushroom cloud?
real question: She we be bombing at all?
Narrative question: should we supply direct support to Guiado, or just indirect support?
real question: Should we be supporting a coup at all?
Gen. Christopher Figuera, the chief of Venezuela's National Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN), has reportedly backed the attempted uprising against President Nicolas Maduro alongside two other senior generals, Argus Media reported April 30. In the meantime, security forces loyal to opposition leader Juan Guaido have seized multiple garrisons across the country.
New information suggests that the uprising against the Maduro government was more extensive than initial reports indicated. The backing of Figuera and other generals also seems to indicate that Venezuela's opposition has managed to create substantial cracks in the country's security forces. Figuera has also ordered his forces to support Guaido, which raises the likelihood of violent confrontations as long as the uprising endures.
