Well, the Donkey who was in charge of Venezuela is effectively no more. That most people in Venezuela will be happy to see him go is a given. But (and it is a big "BUT") there are too many unanswered questions, the biggest of which is what happens next? Just about everybody who held some sort of position in Maburro's (the misspelling is deliberate) regime is still there ranging from the acting president Dlcy rodriguez, to the head of national security. So? What is the plan?
I saw a report on the internet that has not been picked up by other major news outlets which has not repeated, that the CIA had suborned Maburro's security detail about 18 months ago. If true, this could make some sense as it is difficult to imagine that the President of Venezuela could be taken without a shot being fired.
Of course there are those, who having kept quiet about the Donkey and his misdeeds for years, are now finding their voice over Drumpf's (again the misspelling is deliberate) clearly illegal act should we (i.e. T&T) be worried?
Frankly, I don'i think so. The fall of the Donkey really has no implications for us - unless, of course, there are citizens who are involved in the drug trade. But Drumpf's actions were really mote about oil than drugs. But, we shall see in due course. While our media will play it down, clearly the American media will not.
One thing is clear though: Power comes out of the mouth of a gun!
