Venezuela is at stage 3 of impending revolution, to wit, the same stage as Tsarist Russia in 1911, after the harvest failed and Stolypin...a very competent interior minister...was assassinated. Stage 4 will come quickly, much more quickly than in Russia 1911, because Venezuela has already destroyed its export infrastructure.

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.)

Not only that, Venezuela is not an island. That makes it kind of hard to keep everyone from leaving.
