I Checked To See If She Had Before Posting This, I May Revise If I See She Has Since

IF THE VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION FIGURE  Maria Corina Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year doesn't come out soon in opposition to Trump ruling her country as he intends to,  and very soon,  the reasonable conclusion is that she's OK with that.    If she agrees to being installed by Trump - and if that happens the reasonable conclusion,  no, the absolute certainty is that she's an American puppet,  if by "America" you mean Donald Trump and his criminal regime.     She didn't oppose him blowing up fishing boats, a clear international crime,  absolute murder,  she supported him doing that, so I'm not expecting she's going to do anything to support the independence of Venezuela now.

Though I'm far from enthusiastic for the Madurro administration he did something that she has not done, he won an election.  I'll get into whether or not the election he ran was a clean one when my country gets rid of the Electoral College,  the media lying for Republican-fascists with impunity and the partisan gerrymandering that the Roberts Court is rubber-stamping.   

I am always seriously skeptical of any "opposition" figure who is a right-wing capitalist from the oligarchic class as Machado is,  if she became the president of Venezuela I'd expect she would  be far less about an attempted reform than Violetta Chamorro was in Nicaragua - her win in 1990 was heavily influenced by George H.W. Bush's quite similar illegal act in Panama the year before,  it was widely feared in Nicaragua that he would invade their country, too.   You remember,  that's the illegal war and abduction of a national leader that led to George H.W. Bush pardoning all kinds of criminals like Caspar Weinberger , Robert McFarlane, Elliott Abrams, though some interpreted that as him pardoning them so they wouldn't testify about him re Iran-Contra.   You might find this old show about how the crimes of daddy Bush set things up for Trump's grant of impunity for his many crimes prescient and very timely. 

If I were a Venezuelan,  I'd count on Machado selling the country out, especially the lower classes.  She's an elite-trained capitalist oligarach.   I stopped being impressed with the Nobel Peace Prize when they gave one to that massive criminal responsible in the deaths of literally millions, both during his time in government and after,  Henry Kissinger.   I like to think of him in hell right now and I don't like to think anyone's in hell.  I expect Poppy Bush is there with him, twisting in the flames or some such torture.  They would be if anyone was.
