Call it whatever you want. When Hugo nationalized the oil business, it made the rich venezuelans very unhappy, and they are connected to the US. But there's always someone behind the scene pulling the strings.

Nobody knows the future. But if the US don't like a certain country, they are always willing to support some chump within the government to overthrow/destabilize it. But the US's enemy in the near future is Iran, Syria and North Korea, not Indonesia.
