They will be crushed, worse than last year, worse than Nicaragua, but easily crushed. Kleptozuelan military revolt? They're all corrupt and complicit, from the Top to the middle levels. Thousands of them: totally corrupt. <br /><br />So unless Pompeo/Trump/Macri/Duque/Peru's 12/Macron and the EU, Canada, and others decide to interve, briefly, militarily, Klepto-Cubazuela will be there to stay, for many more decades to come.Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963609943524453700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-29663789405915090812018-05-16T03:41:32.356+02:002018-05-16T03:41:32.356+02:002 quick points: It's not just Maduro this, Mad...2 quick points: It's not just Maduro this, Maduro that. It's an entire Chavistoide army of thieves that runs the show. Even in Cuba. There are 1300 "Generals", plus hundreds of "revolutionary" top-thugs in power. Not just Cabello, Tarek, Padrino, Rodriguez.. Many, many more run Kleptozuela.Maduro is just a part of that huge kleptomaniac narco machine. Plus the "pueblo-people" itself, by the millions, are often complicit. Millions are on the machine's direct payroll. Millions steal in the fields are the streets, as Daniel says. It's a monster of countless heads, plus the complicit, corrupt "pueblo"..<br /><br />Also, no one talk about Smartmatic anymore. While Rodriguez, Delcy and Tibibitch stay silent.. They run those machines. It's much easier to fabricate votes than anyone thinks. Did we forget that even Smartmatic itself declared "at least" 1 million fraudulent votes on their own machines and pulled out of Kleptozuela? <br />-------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Superb account on this comprehensive post. Chapeau Daniel. Best of luck to you and the few good ones left in that hellhole. <br />Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963609943524453700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-27213453429179664422018-05-15T22:15:04.259+02:002018-05-15T22:15:04.259+02:00Let's be clear this mess isn't Chavez or M...Let's be clear this mess isn't Chavez or Maduro they are just pawns in a grander plan. Let's also be clear the end game will see the people behind this getting ongoing rich. At some point they will stabilize with bare minus like Cuba while pretending the economic war is all going. That way the people stay as pawns just surviving for the next ration. Oil will be developed as with drug trade but the wealth will go to the people behind this. Who knows if Falcon is the next pawn or not. The best the people can do at this point is stop resisting and fall in line such that security, and minimal needs can be offered up Cuban style. The people have lost because most all the opposition either only cared for it self or were out right working for the regime. The only way this gets fixed beyond what Cuba has is if and only if the USA desires the oil and the people in control of the USA are not in on the racket. Some big ifs. But the slide into hell will continue until all resistance is broken and the people become sub servant and in resistant.Canadian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392005954549946976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-79205314629501117242018-05-15T17:39:11.727+02:002018-05-15T17:39:11.727+02:00Video tells all!

Falcón will be asked to swear allegiance to the Constituyente, therefore it seems the Cubans may be trying to work a move to avoid Lima group sanctions, and put Jorge Rodriguez in charge of an interim regime until Delci finishes copying the constitution the Cubans are writing for her. Hopefully the Lima group is aware of this possibility?
