Me thinks Venezuela is on the verge of a Salvador Allende moment.
Socialism at it’s best, hunkered down in the Presidential Palace with a helmet on and a sub-machine gun in your hand.
Allende killed himself on Sept. 11, 1973. Nixon was the president. No way any current US intel agency or asset moves against Maduro with Obummer sitting in the CINC chair. You’ve seen what’s happening with the CIA assets that participated in the rendition out of Italy of the Egyptian cleric. No air cover from their own. Despicable.
You may see private initiatives from companies whose property has been nationalized during the “Bolivarian Revolution”, but they will be limited to recovering or at least protecting their interests until things change.
Maduro will probably do a Tony Montana, complete with cocaine and hookers. Or he may do a reverse Tony Montana and head for Cuba, depending on how much cash he has stashed away and how much the Castor bros. will charge him to get in and what the annual “maintenance fee” will be to stay on the island.
