    The “criminal charges” thing against Maduro is a joke. Any court will throw them out.

    I have no idea what they intend to do with that.

      Disrupt Venezuela for long enough to let corporations re-privatize that nation’s oil reserves for US business interests while everyone is distracted by a multi year long trial process that ends up going nowhere, Maduro gets released or pardoned.

        Trump hasn’t have a lot of luck setting kangaroo courts.

        I actually expected them to delay the judgment indefinitely. But they have already put him in front of a judge.

    There are far more Venezuelan’s that are pissed. Don’t let the US media lie to you. We just stepped in it and now all of central and south America are on high alert. How are we going to negotiate anything with those countries now? Every day Americans will be poorer because of this.

      The relationship of Latin states with the US has never been of negotiation between equal peers. South and Central America are subjugated under the colonialism of the US. They are kept poor because their economies are structured to be dependent on trade with the US.

      The true effect will be to affirm the urgency for such states to develop deeper integration with the Russia-China power axis.

        I wonder how long it would be before I noticed. Miller could have someone train a bot on Trump’s numerous tweets and just have it post nonsense 3 times a day and say hes working from Mar-a-lago for a while and nothing would be much different.
