As for Tom Phillips, his articles further shred his integrity and credibility. His article on "Venezuela's neighbours" mostly just quoted the Lima Group. In other words, Tom is a stenographer, and the Guardian regurgitates it.
The US purposely creates chaos and crisis as an excuse for intervention. That is what the US is doing to Venezuela. US regime change artists and their mockingbirds in the media never consider what might come after. They really don't care about the people, except as props for regime change. If and when Maduro's socialist government falls, then Venezuela will be turned over to rightwing oligarchs, whom will do Washington's bidding.
Venezuelans can then say "Hello" to neoliberalism, the IMF, privatization, ExxonMobil, austerity, and neglected social programs. And, "Good-bye" to state-owned enterprises, universal healthcare, free education, and a voice speaking up for the poor.
