Thank you for this comment @jrb450 , I was thinking along similar lines as I watched this. It's a good video and got me to keep listening, but there are several very important variables left out, like you mentioned.
The Venezuelan "opposition" isn't trying to help, he's a puppet of US/NATO, attempting a soft coup. If that doesn't work, NATO will turn to a military option. Invasion of Venezuela is already being foreshadowed in media, very sad that the people of Venezuela have to go through this just because of the avarice and megalomania of those in power.
