nobody understands what trump is saying when he says the pentagon will "run" venezuela.

is he intending on sending in ground troops? he's apparently answered that question by making it conditional on whether the new president is a puppet or not.

so, if delcy rodriguez does what she's told, there will be no invasion, and if she resists, she's out too, apparently; apparently, that's what that means.

it doesn't sound like much of a plan to me. this is looking more and more like an international embarrassment, especially if maduro just gets released and the charges get quickly dropped, as i would expect they will be. he'll be flying home in no time, and he'll still be president when he gets home.
