Not going to shed any tears over Maduro by all accounts the guy is a thug and a crook. You have have the most recent Nobel peace prize winner waiting in the wings to take over. Still this isnt the way to go about it, the west has a terrible record on regime change
Some saying attention will turn to Mexico next ref drugs but not sure even Trumps that stupid.
THe US recognises Urrutia as the winner of the last election, with Machado leader of the opposition.
The power in vnezuela hasbt changed though, Maduro loyalists will give up nothing without force, and will just promote from within. Urrutia and Machado will stay in exile...
Unless therr has been a plan, abd plotting behind the scenes, the Venezurlan public seem to be taking this abduction? Capture? Well, there is a hunger for regime change from within.
I like the way people are talking about oil like its a secret noone noticed, oil is the key to the lock, but the lock isnt oil, its Russian and Chinese influence in the Americas, and the amount of investment and infrastructure plowed in by them.
I dont know how badly the US need the oil, but i know how badly they dont want Russia and China to get exclusive rights to it after they bury the venezuelan government in debt!
This may well become a global destabilising, or global stabilising move from Trump, i think we all agree Russian threat to europe would significantly increase if they managed to secure vast quantities of Venezuelan assets?
