I think it’s quite clear who collaborated now.
i’d want a second independent report
You won’t take Donald Trump at his word? have you no respect for the office?!
no

i also have no respect for the guardian
I’ve become very pessimistic but another perspective given to me was this - the US is intentionally releasing news about Delcy cooperating in order to discredit her/cause instability at home.
Another article from the Guardian, describing a leaked video in which she articulates the threats against her life by the americans https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/23/venezuela-leaked-video-delcy-rodriguez-maduro
In this article, there is what is supposedly a still frame from an upload of the video on youtube. So it shoudn’t be that hard for the grauniad to get hold of the actual video and post it, right?
Yet they didn’t

And even if the video really is as described in the article, it’s wild just how lazy all these propaganda rags have become
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Chavez do something where he let his Couper capture him cuz he figured it was better than shedding a bunch of blood resisting them and was confident his admin could run things in his adsence?
Yes. During the 2002 coup Chavez was given the option to activate the Anti-Coup plan, but he didn’t because he distrusted the Military High-Command. So he pretended to resign but he never did, which mean Diosdado Cabello was the de jure Interim President instead of Pedro Carmona.
When the population heard about that, they blocked the entrance to the presidential palace, and the Palace was stormed by Bolivarian and some Liberal allies Military Units and Police Loyalists. Diosdado was able to get in power and then there was news that the CIA had landed in Venezuela with help from Delta Force units and were planning to kidnap Chavez, it seems like that plan failed because some CIA agents wanted to kill Chavez and blame it on the VZ opposition but some other CIA agents thought that would just futher radicalize the Bolivarian Revolution instead of causing a civil-war.
