BBC News: Reports " Russia has condemned foreign powers for backing a Venezuelan opposition leader who declared himself interim president, calling it a bid to "usurp power". "
Lets Get Real:
It will be interesting to see how the Venezuelan Crisis plays out, will President Maduro leave Office, while he still has the support of the Russians, will the crisis become violent, how will the armed forces react, will they support the present Government or follow the people. This could be the real FIRST foreign policy crisis for POTUS, it looks like he will add extra sanctions on Venezuela, the US could take military action, but as the left never cease to point out this would follow a US historical trend. IF POTUS does take military action it will divert attention from domestic problems, the Democratic Speaker has not power over foreign policy, it would force the Democratic candidates to take sides, would they also take military action or will they support the left wing government of Maduro. Everything is political these days.
