Trump says the outrageous, Rubio comes behind with some level of reason to clean things up.
1. Stabilization
2. Recovery
3. Transition aka eventual democracy
It's an okay Rubio plan at face value, if short on detail. But fudge it's been 4 days since Maduro was captured.
Plus if you go into two much detail "we plan to have free elections by 2028, with a purging & trials of corrupt regime officials both pre and post those elections blah blah blah". The regime bad guys with the guns in Caracas fearful of soon rotting in jail, head into the hills, and there is widespread bloodshed.
The corruption is multi layered all through Venezuelan society from Maduro's inner circle power brokers, all the way down to local secret police/narco thugs in every town and village. It's been built up over 20 years, it's not an easy system to unwind quickly. It's going to take time to weaken that. It's a corrupt police state from top to bottom. Lots of powerful armed people with a shark load to lose, when democracy does arrive.
There are armed gangs now in Caracas hunting down Machado supporters, or anyone with stuff on their socials anti Maduro.
Machado/Gonzalez eventually need some sort of army faction split, to align with them. Apparently that's more likely to lead by lower ranked officers, than any of generals who are pro Maduro. But any such split could lead to a civil war.
Again it's far more that a left verus right issue.
Machado is a staunch advocate of capitalism and free-market policies.
It's your corrupt, brutal, murderous thug 'socialist' cadres Doloras who are the villains here.
As Latinos are saying if you haven't been to our part of the world, to get a really good feel for how it all works there, then fudge off and stop commenting on something you know really know nothing about. We may not like it that was the Yankees who got rid of Maduro, but we are joyous he's gone, after 20 years depressingly thought there was basically little hope of any change, and at last we yes have a glimmer of hope.
Damning video of that shooting in Minny. That ICE agent should be up on murder charges.
