It's not true to say that the administration didn't actually make any kind of long-term plan that went beyond "Grab the bad guy". They have a plan, which involves using their new leverage over Venezuela to bring down the government of Cuba as well. But I don't know if their planning goes much further than that, or if they know what they're going to do once they've destabilized a good chunk of Central America.

But then again, destabilizing large parts of the Middle East worked out great for everyone involved, so why worry?

Rumors of him installing Rubio to "take charge" of Cuba are almost enough to make you laugh. Almost :-(

Meanwhile, I continue to be grateful for the journalistic integrity of Max Blumenthal and the the other brave souls who work with him at The Grey Zone...

This seems pretty on-brand for this administration: if they break something and then course correct, they take credit for the recovery but don't admit they are the ones who broke it in the first place. if they break something and then go on to inflame an already bad situation, well...you are on your own, citizen.

When President Trump says about Venezuela “I think at some point it’ll be safe,” he means when American Troops are on the ground to protect him.

Perhaps the orange man should make a trip this week. Yes , I’m sure it will be perfectly safe.

Why can't Acting Venezuelan President [checks notes] Donald Trump guarantee security in the country he claims to be running?
