ENDGAME? Protesters rally in Venezuela; general defects from Maduro.

The street protesters in Caracas on Saturday were mostly backing opposition leader Guaido, who the United States has also recognized as interim president. They were pushing for Maduro’s ouster from power at home while signaling to other nations to consider supporting Guaido as the country’s leader, The Washington Post reported.

Before the protests, Venezuelan Air Force General Francisco Esteban Yanez Rodgriguez broke with Maduro and called on the military to back Guaido.

About the only thing worse than a military junta is a properly elected, energetic socialist.
