It is clear that while Maburro ( the misspelling is deliberate) is gone , that his policies aren't, and the the rather transparent excuse that he was a drug trafficker was just that - an excuse. This is not to say that he wasn't at least turning a blind eye to the trafficking and that he was not part of the drug dealing. But we should note that the Americans have not pursued the drug dealing and have instead turned to the real reason that the Donkey was removed, i.e., oil.
President Drumpf (again the misspelling is deliberated) has very correctly said that the Cubans, Chinese and others have been stealing Venezuela's oil for the last 20 years or so and that he is going to correct this theft and pay Venezuela and whatever he buys he will be making sure that whatever he pays goes into Venezuela and not into personal pockets. He is correct, of course. For too long Venezuela has been ripped off by rapacious politicians.
But here is where the Americans are running into trouble. They are accusing Maburro & Co. of turning an entire nation into a massive drug cartel, Of course we have to wait for the trial of the Donkey and his wife, but even if one-tenth of the charges that we know so far are true, the story is a dreadful one. But (and it is a big "But") Drumpf has left the entire Cabinet of Maburro in place. Nothing seems to have changed and of the many political prisoners arrested and held without cause other than being opposed to the Donkey, nobody of any consequence is being released. But the new regime has seen it fit to release two dead people together with some 75 out of more than 800 that they ere supposed to free and not counting the many others.
Apart from a change at the top, nothing has really changed - at least, not yet! There is still some hope. So, keep holding your breath.
