Kek. The fact that's the poster for an actual movie just makes it better.

But going back on subject, even though 79% of the Venezuelans want a military intervention at this point (asuming that's the only way out), personally I would prefer if we solve our own problems by ourselves.

If a military intervention does happen, then it would prove what many Venezuelans have been saying: we are so useless that we can't solve our own problems, we need a savior for that. That's the reason why Chavez came to power back in 1999, because people looked for a savior that could solve our problems back them.

The worst part is that it seems some poeple are trying to put the MUD (a coalition of all opposition political parties, ranging from center-left social Democrats to center-right pro-capitalists) under the same "our lords and saviours" pedesta, while I'm like: "Have you guys forgot HOW Chavez came to power in the first place?". I have nothing against the MUD, my problem is with the people who praise them like if they were flawless.

Another reason why I don't want an intervention is because I don't want this to become like the Syrian Civil War: too many external powers meddling, which causes the conflict to get more convulted and to last longer than it should.

To conclude, I think this perfectly summarizes the Venezuelan crisis:

Think of Venezuela as that person who performs well at his job who unfortunely has unhealthy habits like habitual comsuption of cigarettes and junk food. Hugo Chávez would be the cancerous tumour, result of said unhealthy habits. Nicolas Maduro is the metastasis.
