Who backs whom? If Cuba, Turkey, China, and Russia back something, I’m agin’ it.

The problem with getting rid of socialist dictators is that their working class supporters are so stubborn about facing up to just how bad things have gotten.
At this point even Maduro’s working-class supporters, for the most part, realize he’s run the country into the ground. His support now is from the bought-off (who he increasingly can’t afford), foreign dictators who don’t like the president of removing incompetent dictators for being incompetent dictators, and Western leftists who don’t want to have to explain what they would do differently than Chavez/Maduro if they had the power.
In Maduro’s corner – predictably – pretty much the entire current membership of Associated Sociopathic Heads of State (ASHOS).
