samuel huntington said the moment when you see a transition is when there's a crack within the ruling elite. so far no crack in venezuela by which i mean you're not seeing generals defect by and large, one or two minor ones. why are the generals staying so close to the regime? >> so part of the reason you're not seeing military pull away, at least we haven't seen it so far, is this is in many ways, shapes, forms a military regime. the ministers, those who run food, those who control the state-owned energy company, those who are in control of governors and other positions, they are all military generals. so the military while maduro is a civilian, the military really controls this government. it's their government to decide to keep or to stay or to keep maduro or not. the other reason i think we're still seeing this coalition of cohesiveness, we haven't seen the cracks, is there are outside players propping these people
