Rumors of possible intervention in Venezuela

It is talking about these days of a possible international invasion in Venezuela, last resort to end the regime of Nicolás Maduro, direct heir of Hugo Chávez and title of Cuban dictator Raúl Castro. The measure, extremes, can not be ruled out. This is analyzed by Ricardo Hausmann, a lucid and capable Venezuelan, who has been a minister and is today a world-class analyst. It is worthwhile to follow, briefly, his reasoning.

The South American country is really on the verge of collapse and the situation is aggravated critically as the days go by. Food and medicine are lacking, the few that can be endured are subject to four-digit inflation, there are no freedoms and the population is desperate: protests begin on the streets and are likely to intensify in the coming weeks. The country is virtually paralyzed, because people have to go outside, and production has declined sharply. Nobody invests, of course, and crime operates without control.
