12:15 pm at Mar-a-Lago :
Trump looks like he's been up 48 hours - which
is probably true and kinda understandable.
Rubio however seems VERY VERY nervous about something.
Keeps twitching and looking around the room as if he
expects a squad of kommie kommandos to suddenly attack.
Speaking kinda rapidly. Did he take a fistfull of bennies
to stay awake ?
As for Maduro ... unclear if he's still on a US warship
or has been moved to some detention facility in Florida.
Is Noreiga's cell free ? Trump says the plan it to take
him to New York. Maybe Mamdani will spring his Fellow
Traveler ?
Trump says the USA is "going to run" Venezuela until
the legit president can create a new government. This
may be good or kinda bad. Maduro's hand-picked VP
has apparently fled to Moscow - let's hope she
stays there.
So far, neither Russia or China has said much of
anything about all this even though both have
interests in Venez and Maduro is in the Kommie Klub.
Finally, Cuba ... it'd been, barely, getting by on
Venez charity. For now their free oil and cut of the
dope biz is going to be cut off. Regime collapse
IS possible.

He did look tired. Obviously after a very long night.

That he did.
He kept looking around and had an interesting look on his face.
Kind of odd.

These days nothing would surprise me.
Nothing.

She's as bad as he is only she seems a lot more intelligent.

It will all be worked out in time.
I suspect they are both in shock as Chinese warships were supposedly
in the area and they apparently did not realize the attack was in progress. That's pretty amazing in and of itself.
Finally, Cuba ... it'd been, barely, getting by on
Venez charity. For now their free oil and cut of the
dope biz is going to be cut off. Regime collapse
IS possible.
Cuba has been in trouble for years and getting worse.
Gonna be interesting for sure.
I am not a fan of USA practicing regime change as it seems to go sideways every time.

Ditto on this sentiment but both China and Russia were using the
resources there to their advantage. It's our turn now.

I'm against nation building, regime changes and so forth but in this case
the Venezuelan people celebrating in the streets all over the world
says it all.
Oh, except in NYC where the usual band of rabble-rousers have found a new cause to protest.
I guess, Floyd, antisemitism, BLM and so forth have run their course.

"You can't import democracy" as the saying goes. It has to come from the ground up.

Those Cuban exiles and their descendants are the most fanatical people
in the country.
Those Venezuelan expatriates are in a fanatical emotional state right
now but they may not be so happy when Venezuela is in even worse shape
than it is now because Trump refuses to give them the long term
military and financial support they're going to need.

I remember Reagan ranting about the
"power hungry" Sandinista government in
Nicaragua. Which stepped down when it
was voted out of office a few years
later.
