...Following this week's military mutiny, which was squelched, but not before locals ran out and attempted to defend the troops in pitched street battles, now at least sixty – sixty! – neighborhoods in Caracas have erupted into riots – big riots, with people reported shot dead. ...Didn't see that in the "Nooz", did you? I know--because I just checked. It ain't there. UPDATE: WaPo has an item up.
Anyhow. The opposition-party leader has declared himself President; Brazil refuses to recognize Maduro as the President, and although ONE military revolt was quashed, there's plenty more military where they came from....
UPDATE 2: Venezuela has tossed out US Embassy personnel after the US recognized the opposition party leader as President. Reuters (reliably Marxist) says the problem is "hyperinflationary economic collapse."
Phrased more clearly: too much Occasional- Cortex economics.
