The oil price collapse has brought about excited speculation that the end may be near for Putin, Iran and the American oil shale industry. While the oil price downturn will definitely stress these three players, the prime candidate for political collapse is Venezuela – with significant ramifications for the United States.
And it’s likely the Obama administration is not prepared at all.
Venezuela has all three factors present for an imminent political implosion: 1) severe and worsening economic distress, 2) an organized political opposition, and 3) disunity in its security services. Russia and Iran may be in tough economic straits, but the political opposition in both countries is weak and the armed forces and police are clearly under the control of the existing regime.

Seems the commies will once again know the weight of the American Entrepreneur.
What exactly is the meaning of ‘fall’? How will it differ from what they have now?
The difference is that the leftists will get hung from lamp posts. Its long over due and its well deserved.
They’re working up to it in VZ, from what I’ve read.
Remember, Venezuela, in 1956, was the first Latin American state to overthrow a dictator, long before Castro did it in Cuba, etc. It set off the chain-reaction that freed a lot of LA countries from the old “caudillos”.
Venezuelans are decent people except for Chavez’s reds. Time to clean house, Indonesian-style (1965).
just a guess, but ,
‘fall’ means, run oot of $$$foreign.reserves
The only question remaining is: on what date will the V military take matters into their own hands? Temporarily, they are coopted, somewhat a la North Korea, by bribes from the goobermint. When those bribes stop, Maduro's game is over.
Just BTW, I live in Panama. We keep a VERY close eye on Maduro and his coterie of assholes. I dislike prediction, but, absent a SHARP rise in the price of crude, I should say that Maduro has less than 6 months, unless of course he should decide to go "full Castro" on his own population.
I don't think that that shot is on the board, because he has NO Soviet Union, or other, sugar daddy waiting in the wings.
FReegards to you!
>> he has NO Soviet Union, or other, sugar daddy waiting in the wings
You don’t think his fellow traveler Obama would prop him up?
(Just kidding. I hope.)
Good. America is defeating all her enemies in one swift blow; in determining a lower oil price, hopefully US hegemony will rule once again. It’s about bloody time too.
Venezuelans won’t have my respect until they use el Jefe to re-enact Mussolini’s end.
Not only that, Venezuela is not an island. That makes it kind of hard to keep everyone from leaving.
Yes, he would. (Not kidding.)
I believe Venezuela will rise and the damn commies will fall if the stupid people that voted the commies in have learned their lesson. I wish them the best and hope a rebirth of freedom is in their immediate future.
“Not only that, Venezuela is not an island. That makes it kind of hard to keep everyone from leaving.”
Think 2 things. 1.Obama’s recent action and 2.where would those leaving go??? THink about it.
Any chance we could send Willard and Jeb down there instead of us putting up with them.
Didn’t the Bush clan buy a huge track of land down that way?
Who is heading up VZ these days? A bad guy or a super bad guy? Too bad Hugo is gone.
Don’t forget Cuba. They are right next door and we need to manage that before the Chinese scoop them up.
Where’s Sean Penn and Danny Glover now that their glorious Turd World socialist hellhole is sinking away? Morons...
the international gesture...
