I don’t care about Maduro, as far as I’m concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It’s a collective hangover, a horrible one.
It’s 2016 all over again. It’s seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it’s more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.
This is far from improving, and we know it.
That certainly is what it looks like at first glance. Trump has declared himself in charge but nothing on the ground has borne that out yet.
imo the US’ plan is: [1] destabilize Venezuela [2] “they are unstable and need intervention”
it sounds too obvious and stupid to be true; but I wouldn’t put it past this admin
It’s true. I’m reminded of that old Bill Hicks routine where he likened our Iraq policy to the movie “Shane.”
“Pick up the gun.” [shoots] “You all saw him! He had a gun.”
As a general rule if Trump says something then it isn’t true.
