The board is set, the pieces are moving – and Maduro is scared.
With US Navy Warships laying siege off the coast of Venezuela, the ‘Tyrant of Caracas’, Nicolas Maduro, is vowing resistance – but the frantic pace of his manifestations show that he is afraid – as he should be.
Maduro convened a press conference to state that the US is seeking a regime change in his country.

Reuters reported:
“But Maduro, Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and other officials have said the U.S. is threatening their country and the buildup is meant to justify an intervention against them.
‘They are seeking a regime change through military threat’, Maduro told journalists, officials and uniformed military brass in Caracas, echoing comments last week by his government’s representative at the United Nations.
‘Venezuela is confronting the biggest threat that has been seen on our continent in the last 100 years’, Maduro added. ‘A situation like this has never been seen’.”
