    >“You can save yourself and those closest to you, but you must leave the country now,” Trump reportedly said, offering safe passage for Maduro, his wife and his son “only if he agreed to resign right away”.

    >However, Venezuela’s president reportedly refused to step down immediately and allegedly made a series of counter-demands, including worldwide immunity from prosecution and being allowed to cede political control but keep control of the armed forces.

    How would he control the armed forces from exile?

    >In a letter to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that was published by Venezuelan state media on Sunday, Maduro accused the US of seeking to “appropriate Venezuela’s vast oil reserves – the largest on the planet – through the lethal use of military force”.

    Clever, he’s already pushing the “war for oil” argument for Leftists to use in the future

    This makes it pretty clear it wasn’t about drugs. It was regime change the whole time. He’ll probably install one of some puppet he can manipulate.
