Meanwhile Maduro has substantial support in the country, that's how dictators stay in power, they have a well armed committed block of support who will coalesce around his ideological successor, it seems unlikely anything has changed other than the arrest

It’s interesting that you note there’s no plan. I watched the presser today and that was my impression as well. It seemed like Trump was making some of this up on the fly. When the media asked who would be governing he was kind of like “well, some of the people behind me” and talking about the oil companies coming down he alluded to the idea that they would spend a lot of money, but all be reimbursed.
It’s hardly a surprise, but it seems like they really haven’t thought anything through and are just expecting it’ll all come together because they’re the US and everyone should fear them.
