US-run border ‘provocation’ to topple Maduro set for February 23, Moscow warns.
Moscow has warned that a “provocation” intended to topple Nicolas Maduro is set for this Saturday, which will involve a US-run aid convoy that could spark border clashes between government and opposition forces.
Crisis-plagued Venezuela is now on the brink of sliding into all-out turmoil, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Friday, warning that Saturday would be crucial for President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
A dangerous large-scale provocation is scheduled for February 23
The US-run “provocation” may take shape of an aid convoy crossing the Venezuelan border
and provoking clashes between “supporters and opponents of the current government,” Zakharova explained.

Such an incident could provide an opening for “a coercive action” to oust Maduro from power. The remark comes just days after the Venezuelan president closed the border with Brazil amid a row over humanitarian aid.
He indicated that he could also close the key border with Colombia to stop the opposition from using relief as an advantage to gain popular support. An aid convoy that tried to penetrate the border earlier on Friday was led by the self-proclaimed interim president, Juan Guaido.

Most Venezuelans support Maduro, including most of the military (which is what actually matters for the purposes of a coup). At this point it looks like the US will either cut their losses or start a war.

I hope they do the former. A more clear-eyed view from the US position would show that they haven't actually lost anything, at least according to their own theory of how regime change is supposed to happen. They are actually in a stronger position now and can wait for another crisis moment.

This sham intervention in Venezuela is a message to socialists in the U.S. It has significant symbolism they are targeting a communist country. The liberal media and their so-called liberal owners who claim to be dedicated to progress are allying with the right wing… despite invitations to ally with the DemSocs. CNN hired a hardcore right winger and the equivalent of a female Alex Jones named Sarah Isgur to control their 2020 election coverage. She will edit, direct and narrate all of CNN’s election related news. Outrage is profitable to CNN whereas DemSoc policies are not so they’ll attempt to throw the election to right wingers. Furthermore, the neoliberal Democrats are probably being paid to lose. After purposefully losing the election both the Dems and CNN will pretend to be #LeResistance again while admitting some mistakes. In fact, Dems right now have the power to destroy the right wing’s reputation with subpoena power… but choose not to.
The plutocrats are noticing socialists growing support and political organization. They see the popularity of a few politicians who are working on very modest reforms such as proposing higher minimum wage, healthcare, marginal tax rates, education and better work conditions. These proposals are met with enthusiasm by most of the working class. However, the bourgeoisie investments have stagnated, heavy industry is operating far below capacity, corporate profits and agribusiness exports are declining. Large landowners and industrialists need to slash wages and raise prices on sustenance and rent. They need the state in turn to provide them with massive subsidies and tax exemptions. In order to finance this corporate welfarism, the populace needs to pay the federal taxes (where the bourgeoisie don’t), while social services and welfare expenditures need to be drastically cut
To impose this full measure of austerity upon workers and the poor, the ruling economic interests need to abolish democratic rights which helped the masses defend their modest living standards. The solution is to smash organized labor parties, leftist political organizations and civil liberties. Industrialists and big landowners want someone at the helm who could break the power of organized laborers and impose a stern order on the masses. For this task the Trump cult, armed with his gangs of police force worshippers, seems the likely candidate.
Trump will target socialists.

If they really gonna see this through it will be one of the most illegitimate invasions in the eye of the public. Guaidó turned out of be hot air and has lost momentum with two or three days after his usurpation, and there are no opposition forces willing to start serious shit and life goes - relatively for such a crisis - on as normal. It would be seen as nothing but a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and there aren't even any reliable proxies within the country the US could rely on.

There's no way the US could get away with this.
A direct military intervention in Venezuela would be the perfect scenario to exploit for the cause of anti-imperialism.
Venezuela is a relatively prosperous country, well maybe not "prosperous" but rich enough for the "pre-invasion and post-invasion" comparison images to be powerful enough on the internet.
Unlike many of the other recently invaded countries by the US and its allies, Venezuela has a strong pro-chavista media presence locally and on the internet that would immediately start uploading the air raids (or whatever tactic the international coalition would use against Venezuela) and the destruction causing international outrage. Don't know to what extent western media would be able to silence though.
Even if it's not international, if latin american solidarity against the US is achieved that would be great, a second wave anti-capitalist militias and governments is probably the best scenario if an invasion does occur.

“The Lima Group” said no to an invasion which was a no-brainer. Guaido is going to turn into a government in exile while siphoning off as much cash from the country as possible. Venezuela will be put under even more sanctions even though they are current under more than Iraq pre-invasion.

1. "Humanitarian" interventions aren't about being nice to the brown people or spreading democracy
2. Triggering a violent regime change might lead to civil war and an even greater humanitarian crisis
3. Handing the state back to the neolibs won't automatically make Venezuela a paradise or resolve the underlying class-struggles

Definitely agree with 1-3. A military intervention is a military intervention, regardless of "intentions". Plunging a country into civil war and turning its cities into rubble is doubtless worse than some protesters being killed or civil liberties being suppressed.
Don't know enough about Bolton to comment on 4 but that's probably true considering the US military constantly commits atrocities with complete impunity.
That said, I still feel for the people of Venezuela whose suffering can't be blamed entirely on the Yanks. Those in charge of the country largely brought it to where it is, the people should be able to hold them accountable and not be victims of tyranny.

This is incorrect.
Guaido was elected in the 2015 elections.
The 2018 elections are the disputed ones.
Guaido was elected as interim president by the Asamblea Nacional (comprised of those elected in the 2015 election) as the AN does not recognise the 2018 elections and is following constitutional law in the event of a lack of presidency (elect an interim president until elections can take place).
In the AN's eyes there was no president, as Maduro's term had expired and no (recognised) elections had taken place yet.
Maduro instituted the Asamblea Nacional Constituyente in parallel to the AN in order to circumvent the opposition controlled body to change the Venezuelan constitution.

Weren't these people elected? Maduro dropping the ball on being a good dictator.

Did they actually write that in the event of a presidential election they think was rigged to beg the U.S.A. to bomb and invade their country? That's based.

Not my President
Maduro instituted the Asamblea Nacional Constituyente in parallel to the AN
I'm sure someone asked Maduro what his take on all this was

The Green and Socialist parties aren't allowed to participate in major debates due to an archaic law about voter percentage.

It's a long-term coup strategy going back 20 years. Maduro was elected to the presidency twice, with re-election last year. The elections were free and fair and open to all parties. The only ones barred were a few politicians convicted of crimes years before the election. Most major opposition parties, in collusion with US coup strategy, chose to boycott in an effort to delegitimize the democratic process so they could say the country was a dictatorhsip and stage a coup backed by the US. One oppo candidate ran and was condemned by other opposition parties and the US. He got 21% of the vote. The election was monitored by some outside groups. Maduro wanted the UN to monitor them, but the opposition demanded the UN not do so.
The AN was not circumvented by Maduro. They were held in contempt by the supreme court for seating 3 members against court orders who won in rigged local elections. This is also part of the oppo coup strategy: reject the judicial branch entirely, reject the executive branch entirely, reject anything that isn't controlled by them as simply illegitimate. Then use their AN majority not to share power in a divided government and pass legislation aimed at the addressing the economic problems, but to block any effort to address these problems, worsen those problems, and use their AN powers and the ongoing crisis to overthrow the other branches of government and take over all power themselves. This coup was thrwarted when they were held in contempt. They were later disbanded after another election by the new constitutional assembly. Maduro has called for now AN elections.The latest nonsense with Guaido and "humanitarian aid" is just the latest coup tactic after the last one failed.
The crisis centers around the fact that the oppo leadership rejects the idea of shared power and divided government and will only use any power they have to overthrow the rest of the government and take over all power. Their position is simply coup d'etat, the total takeover of power and complete reversal of Chavismo, and always has been since Chavez, they've just had to back down at times because they didn't have the ability to carry it out. They see the economic crisis as their opportunity to finally carry it out. A new constitution will have to figure out how to make such a line impossible for any party or branch. This will be difficult because as long as the US is backing an oppo coup strategy there's no incentive for them to abandon it and engage in normal politics.

countries can offer aid if they wish, by going through the normal channels. This purpose was to establish that outside groups, other countries and the "interim president" could violate VZ's borders, sovereignty and laws at will by dressing it up as "aid". Then establish channels and institutions separate from the government for transporting and distributing said "aid". Then begin including weapons shipments along with said "aid". Begin using the new institutions to set up parallel government, begin launching attacks with weapons you brought in with the "aid", create chaos, split country into "North Venezuela" and "South Venezuela", etc etc.
You can't just flout the laws and the government because you call what you're doing "humanitarian aid". If you want to give aid, go through the normal legal channels like everyone else.

Tell me exactly why over a week ago supposed "Humanitarian Aid" was delivered to a known inoperational bridge whereby it was then used to stage a photoop to proclaim that Venezuela wasn't letting in Humanitarian Aid?

A small minority of a population of millions may still seem like a huge amount. Those gusanos do not represent the popular will of the people. They are traitors to the bolivarian republic and desire to enslave their countrymen which they do not view as equals because of lingering Spanish colonist thought, because many are mestizo, mulatto, or negro. They are begging the US to come in and slaughter hundreds of thousands if not millions like they did in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries further in the past like Vietnam and Korea.

I am aware of this you nonce I am asking what the particular strategy on the ground for the "aid" -→ coup attempt looks like.
Thank you user, this is all I was asking for. So the trojans are literal weapons hidden amongst supplies to be distributed to US coup supporters once inside the country and this exact strategy has been seen used to horrible effect before.

Except they made it clear many times that everyone works. Or rather, everyone works on improving themselves and doing what they're the best at or what they like.

You can't do shit other than run (immigrate to neighboring countries and the US) or fight against the government when the coup happens. If it happens it will 99% be a Latin American Iraq. Expect to see massive bloodshed and reactionaries complaining about Venezuelan refugees.

Venezuela's Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, went to UN and exposed to them of the fake "humanitarian" aid, but I doubt they are going to do anything.
