What has happened so far:
US has given control of Venezuelan assets to Guaido. (Not surprisingly, more and more people are protesting, just a speculation but there could be a financial incentive beyond just the future of Venezuelan wealth involved with the rising support in the protests.)
Just yesterday Maduro called for dialogue with Guaido to resolve the divide in the country. (Is it because without cash loyalty becomes more expensive? Such a call was completely unexpected just a week ago, yet it might be Maduros lifeline...)

I have got to say, I support EU's decision for a peaceful solution to this. But as we have seen earlier this decade not everything can be resolved through elections. As an example Palestinian - Israeli relations were getting better, that is until Hamas won the
democratic elections. Then the rhetoric changed to one of "embargo Gaza". So despite democracy being a just measure of peoples wills, international relations seldom is fully compatible with democratic votes, or with self determination, sadly.
On the other hand, I could only guess the Hawks in the East and in the West cant wait to get their hands on another War... And I could only guess, had the EU fully supported the US course of Action we would be in a "global" war right now. I refuse to say world war, cause in the 21st century it seems proxy wars is where its at. In this proxy wars the civilians are the real victims.
It is a bit sad that me and Labëria have to keep this thread alive, when such a storm is over the future of Geo-Politics. This is beyond cold war now, this is becoming an open ended conflict.
Here, I am hoping they give Maduro amnesty, to set a precedent of co-operation, and fully nationalize Venezuelas wealth for its People akin to what Norway did with their sovereign fund. The other options I dread to think about.
