© Reuters / Carlos Garcia RawlinsOpposition supporters take part in a rally to commemorate the Day of the Youth and to protest against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government in Caracas, Venezuela February 12, 2019.

After weeks of insinuating that Nicolas Maduro's ouster was imminent, Washington now insists that there's "no timeline" for regime change in Venezuela. RT looks at how the US' best laid plans haven't panned out.

When Vice President Mike Pence released a video statement in January pledging full US support for Juan Guaido's claim to the Venezuelan presidency, many assumed that an operation to install the opposition leader in Caracas was just around the corner. But more than a month later, and with Maduro still firmly in power, Washington seems to be out of ideas: Not only has the US failed to deliver its "humanitarian aid" to Venezuela, but Washington's allies have unanimously ruled out military action.

The Trump administration now asserts that there's "no timeline" for regime change in Venezuela - what RT's Igor Zhdanov described as a "thinly veiled admission of failure." Washington still contends that "all options are on the table" - but how many options are left?

Well, the tired old methods of regime change are well known. The blatantly obvious effort here didn't gain any traction with the public in general, or the military in particular. Hence the failure. The empires losing battle in the information sphere is largely responsible for this. The opposition will be voted out of the national assembly soon. As they showed their hand, and lost. Still, it would be wise for the Maduro government, and their allies to keep their eyes open, and not fall asleep. The multi-polar powers should step up a little bit more, and help stabilize the country.

It is so sinister how easily the masses are fooled by MSM, some alternative media, and through politics/political identifications in how one...

The Russians did it, the Russians did it !!! :O The Daily Mail, of all shabby British tabloids ... I wonder why they don't say it ?

What does this tell me ? I don't know. Although after scandals with companies like 23andme, I don't trust such reports anymore. And in any way.
