I wonder if Trump asked permission of Putin to start a contra war instead?

Such bullshit.

True. But Pompeo is also a meathead, let's not forget. His claim that
Maduro was ready to flee Venezuela, and that he only stayed because Putin
told him to, suggests he was tripping. Flee from what? Meanwhile Trump
reported that Russia wasn't seeking to get involved in Venezuela. In this
case, Trump is correct. What does Russia want there (except a bit of a
bargainung chip I suppose).

I wouldn't put much stock in Trump's off-the-cuff statements. Ever since 
he has been president, his foreign policy statements, especially on 
places like North Korea, are more stream of consciousness than a 
Virginia Woolf novel.

Putin may have pointed out to Trump that Guaido's attempts to win over the army 
have been unsuccessful.  Hence any US invasion of Venez.uela would meet strong 
resistance.  Hence Trump may have decided it is not a good idea.

On Wednesday, Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatens US invasion of
Venezuela. On Friday, Trump has a private phone conversation with Putin and
basically then reverses Pompeo's threat. What is happening here?
