just going to follow orders from Trump? I don't think so. The only way the U.S. can "run" Venezuela is to invade and get tied up in another insurgent war.

As usual, there appears to be no coherent strategy. For Trump and his minions, today will be their best day. Everything related to Venezuela will go downhill from here on out for them.

Oh, and I haven't heard one word from the media about the pardon of El Salvador former president Juan Orlando Hernández for drug trafficking -- the reason why Maduro was kidnapped.

I know by now no one should be surprised at the level of blatant hypocrisy and criminality of this regime, but I still am.
