On Thursday, Venezuela's "acting president" Delcy Rodríguez held a regime-sponsored event for young people, "Gran Encuentro con la Juventud Venezolana" (Great Meeting with Venezuelan Youth), during which she got up on stage in front of a crowd, flashing peace signs and wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and made a lot of big promises to the country's younger generations. It was giving "How do you do, fellow kids?" vibes.
I assume this bit of propaganda was meant to counter the country's brave and growing youth opposition movement that has been standing up to the regime in recent weeks —marching, protesting, calling for elections and the release of political prisoners, and even getting in Delcy's face and shouting her down without fear.
But what it turned into was some sort of groveling fest, because the little anti-United States communist woman stood on that stage and carried on and on and on about how much Venezuela loves the U.S. and Donald Trump and how we're all great friends and partners and how if the U.S. would just end the blockades and sanctions, their country would be prosperous again. (Sorry, Delcy, I think Cuba's already played out the "it's the fault of the U.S blockade and not years of communism" card.)
What's even worse is that Nicolás Maduro, Jr. stood on stage behind her, clapping, cheering, and nodding along as if a few short weeks ago, his "friend and partner" Trump didn't pluck his daddy from his bed and put him in a New York detention center. But to be honest, Nicolásito has always given me big, dumb buffoon vibes.
Here's the video. It's in Spanish, but you can at least see what I'm talking about:

A friendly takeover of Cuba? I’ve been around long enough to know that sometimes the president says things that require a bit more explanation, but he did mention that Rubio is in “high-level” talks with someone inside the country — as I’ve been reporting, there are rumors that Rubio is currently in talks with Raúl Castro’s grandson and his team possibly even met the younger Castro on Wednesday.
So what does this mean? A 51st state? (NOOOO!) Turning it into a U.S. territory? (NO!!!) A Venezuela-style makeover?
Can Anybody here make an educated guess?
No Army tank to jump on?
We really do need 4 more years of Trump!

We never should have given up Cuba.
i hope they give lula the same treatment they gave maduro. it’s crystal clear that he manipulated voting and then j6ed bolsanaro
Let the Corleone‘s run it. Everyone will be better off.
Maybe there aren’t many bonafide Corleone types still at it, at least not in that Atlantic Coast area.
AI Scams, Bit-Coin Scams, even measly old Debit Card Scams are probably much easier.
A better question is what do the people of Cuba want in a fair and free election? We have a lot of Cuban Freepers here, they should post about this.
My guess is that things have gotten so bad in Cuba that they are desperate for a way out and willing to become the comparative paradise they were before Castro and Che came along.

That one’s easy. Rubio gets appointed as President for 10 years and runs for POTUS in 11 after 8 years of JD.
