Venezuela: opposition accused

According to the user, Venezuelan opposition members rejoiced over events in Venezuela, believing that people would be 'bombed and killed,' justifying their actions with scenarios they apply to Belarus. However, U.S. authorities stated that the overwhelming majority of the opposition are no longer in the country, which, in their view, deprives them of real influence on the political process. Similarly, groups in Belarus face criticism, and the author claims that the 'thaw' they dream of will not happen. Comments note that any ideas of bringing change to the country are unattainable.
