“If a recall vote is held before January 10 and Maduro loses, new elections must be held.”

It will still end in bloodshed. Neither MADuro or his wife, the chief of cocaine dealing, will allow any other outcome to them continuing in power.

Confrontation is necessary. The present rulers are not going to give up their power -- they will have to removed by force. There is also the possibility that if ordered to fire on the public, many police and soldiers will refuse, and break the regime's power of enforcing its will.
