Not unreasonable to think that America might itself ultimately kill Juan Guaido in order to create a pretext to strike Venezuela [COMPACTIDEA]

The "President Guaido" bomb is fast turning out as a dud - a year has already passed without significant dividends, despite crushing sanctions accompanying the political cover given to him. America has so far failed to remove the "Maduro former regime". How now to milk whatever equity Guaido still has left in his body and his brand, in case America decides that it needs to change its regime change strategy and dispose Guaido while not looking like a fool? US could deniably assassinate Guaido - a pretty, pretty easy task - and put the blame squarely on Maduro, in order to justify a crushing military attack on the Venezuelan government, perhaps one in which Maduro and his top officials 'accidentally' get killed?

Guaido should be careful. Strangely, Nicolas Maduro too.
