The reverse is true as well. If the Venezuelan government has indeed become traitorous, then their first order of business would be to forcefully disarm the communes. The contradiction between the Venezuelan state and the Bolivarian communes would become antagonistic. This antagonism would be resolved either with the overthrow of the Venezuelan state by the communes or with the complete disarmament of the communes by the state. Neither side is just going to sit there and do nothing.
We can see this happening with Lebanon. The official Lebanese government is staffed with Zionist compradors, and they are doing everything in their power to disarm Hezbollah. The only reason why Hezbollah has not responded back with a military response is because they do not want to plunge Lebanon into a civil war. But they very much see the Lebanese government as a Vichy regime that will be overthrown when the time comes.
My stance is that until the communes that Maduro armed make an attempt to overthrow Rodriguez, you really can't claim that she or the government has betrayed the Venezuelan people. If she was such a traitor, then why haven't the communes taken action at this alleged betrayal? Either the communes weren't sufficiently politicized to take action in the event of a complete betrayal in which case the Bolivarian revolution is not something worth mourning over or the communes do not believe the government has betrayed them. And as for why the communes do not believe the government has betrayed them, then it's either because the government indeed did not betray them or the collective membership of the communes is too stoopid to figure it out and should lurk the news mega moar.
There were Syrian insurgents who immediately began warring with Jolani's faction as soon as Assad's government fell on account of Jolani being a Zionist puppet. Why haven't Venezuelan insurgents with small arms handed to them when Maduro was still in power popped up to overthrow Rodriguez?
The only other time I know of the US did anything like this was in Kazakhstan, Project Sapphire.
According to Vladimir Shkolnik, head of the Agency on Nuclear Energy of Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan received compensation worth US$30 million.
Damn, what a steal lmao

BREAKING: 'People Against Genocide' have abseiled through the roof of Elbit's arms factory in Leicester.
They're breaking the ceiling of the clean room used to make key parts for Israeli military drones.
Contaminating the clean room can knock it out of use for several months.
The accounts describe the looting as routine and say commanders, both senior and junior, know it is happening but have no intention to stop it.
More like commanders demand tribute as a percentage of the war booty from their subordinates.
Zionist doxxers get doxxed:

A Drop Site investigation reveals the highest paid employees of the Israeli group running the infamous pro-Israel doxxing site.
The Canary Mission website was launched in the spring of 2015; Megamot Shalom was incorporated in late 2015 and made its first filing in 2016. A series of reports by The Forward in 2018 uncovered evidence that Megamot Shalom was formed as the entity running Canary Mission’s operations by a UK-born businessman named Jonathan Bash, who now lives in Jerusalem.
Drop Site has now identified five more people whom Megamot Shalom has employed as content writers, editors, and consultants. These individuals—Elihu David Stone, Yehuda HaKohen, Abigail Bornstein, Aharon Dikel, and Alexander Malbin Duncan—were identified through a review of Megamot Shalom’s business filings with the Israeli government from 2016 to 2024, where they were listed as the nonprofit’s highest-paid employees. They are all Americans who moved to Israel and are connected to one another and individuals reported to be involved with Canary Mission.
Drop Site’s previous investigation confirmed that Megamot Shalom appears to run Canary Mission, with non-public websites revealing staging material for Canary Mission’s website showing that someone uploading content for a dossier of a pro-Palestine activist on the site matched the name of a person listed as a content writer on Megamot Shalom’s business listing, a UK-born writer named Alex Ben Carson, now living in Jerusalem.

Here's my best guess at what's going on right now. Iran and Israel are in a game of diplomatic chicken, each trying to fracture the other's military coalition. The Israelis want to either continue the broader war or reduce it in scope by forcing the Iranians to abandon Hezbollah. The Iranians are attempting to exert pressure on the US to restrain Israel and withdraw from the war, while trying to isolate Israel internationally.
Much of the commentariat on here is focused on the Iranians 'revealing their weakness' by not immediately launching a counterattack on Israel. This doesn't make much sense to me. The Iranians almost immediately played their strongest non-escalatory card by re-closing the strait. Doing so exerts pressure on the US, not on Israel, which shows the Iranians understand the fundamental reality of the power structure they're up against. The Israelis can only be stopped by forcing the US to restrain them, or taking huge escalatory steps that have a good chance of leading to Israeli nuclear strikes on Iran (desalination plants, energy infrastructure). The closure of the strait denies Trump any claim to a military victory and compounds the economic damage that's already inevitable at this point.
Meanwhile, there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity from Iran. Spain and South Korea are making moves by reopening their embassy in Iran and sending a special envoy to Tehran, respectively. A increasingly long list of countries have made public statements over the past day demanding Lebanon be covered by the ceasefire. Araghchi has been calling everyone in the region over the past 24 hours, and the UAE has publicly condemned the Israeli strikes on Lebanon (very surprising). These are good signs for Iran, which can achieve major gains in Israel's international isolation by capitalizing on their breaking of the ceasefire.
Even better are the signs of the normalization of relations with the rest of the world. If this continues, it'll demonstrate how fundamentally effective the Iranian strategy has been in this war. If they can secure broad international recognition of their right to control and impose tolls on passage through the strait, it'll be a massive victory. The continued closure of the strait, which the Iranians have made clear is the fault of Israel, will drive a wedge into the coalition currently fighting Iran.
The Iranians have made dozens of statements asserting they will not abandon Lebanon. And I don't think it's politically tenable (internally) for them to do so even if they wanted to. The Israelis aren't doing particularly well in their ground war against Hezbollah either.
So we'll have to wait to see how this plays out. It's not impossible that the Iranians are in a weakened position, or that they'll lose their nerve. But I don't see any reason to assume this is the case as long as the strait remains closed. The current situation is a pressure cooker for the US/Israeli relationship, and the American relationship with the rest of the world. Iranian patience makes sense here.
Even if the US, Israel, and mediators like Pakistan are entirely perfidious and only negotiating in bad faith, the Iranians have potentially enormous diplomatic gains to make here. It would be foolish and premature not to take advantage of the situation just to bomb Israel a day or a week earlier. The Israelis can take more bombing and survive. A full, long-term strategic defeat of Israel is only possible through the destruction of its relationship with the rest of the world, which is well underway.
