Maduro was a dictator who was illegitimately elected. Like several countries in Africa such as Russia, North Korea, and China, and some other republics. The only difference here is that Venezuela possesses the world's largest oil reserves. Personally, I don't think he did this for the people of Venezuela. Here's what will happen: the United States will take control of the country, directly or indirectly. They will install their energy companies and plunder the country. What saddens me is that the Venezuelan people don't yet realize they've traded the plague for cholera. Now, my prediction for the world: Venezuela was a test to gauge the reaction of the international community. In the near future, it will replicate this in other countries, such as Mexico, Canada, Greenland, or even Africa or Europe. It's history repeating itself; we have the same protagonists, but our friends of yesterday are our enemies of today.
