Republicans and Donald Trump are leaning on the Venezuela escalation as a battle for more than just oil. Depending on who you believe, dictators are dictators and the fact that drugs are killing Americans has people plenty concerned. The fact that hundreds of thousands of criminals and illegal immigrants fled Venezuela only increases the red flags.
The question may be why now. With police actions more commonplace, maybe we should be less surprised. It is certainly not a war. Now, let us put it another way. For there to be a war, two sides have to actually fight each other. So far, this has been very much a one sided fight. That may change but it has not as of press time.
Now, the pace has picked up with Trump and Venezuela. Much like other actions and reactions, this is no accident. The 45th and 47th President of the United States is rolling on a multitude of fronts including the recent events in Iran with dissident protestors. Trump has formed a close relationship with a good deal of the opposition that won election but could not take office in Venezuela.
Anyway, it seems clear that the only way this ends is with massive political and economic change in Venezuela. Maybe that is not the intentional endgame, but then again maybe it is.
So, the Nicolas Maduro Bets see an early 2026 shift. In the last 24-48 hours, the numbers started careening toward an early exit for the Venezuelan dictator. It appeared that Maduro could stall and play this out past 2026 and perhaps into 2027 or 2028. However, big flashes of light and spotters on the ground are telling a different story. When resting places of former leaders get bombed, situations only get more tense.
Reports early Saturday suggested the Hugo Chavez entombment had been bombed. Again, it is a further sign of what is going on. Venezuela is in political and economic freewill. Then again, the economic problems have been around for at least 10-15 years.
Most everyone assumed January would be rather quiet. Speculation is running that Maduro and his domestic partner/wife have been captured. If he is in the hands of the United States, that would be truly a development of developments. Maduro was aligned with Cuba, Iran, and Russia. The dictator rewrote constitutions, committed widespread election fraud, and brutalized dissenters often by force.
When around 80 percent of the country does not vote for a person, it signifies a desire for change. Again, the socioeconomic crisis has been going on for so long. Betting action on this wager may only last for several days. We can now also confirm that Maduro and his wife are indeed in American custody.
Nicolas Maduro Bets expect to shift with what may happen next. As it has been mentioned many times, regime changes err resets do not always go smoothly. Consider how long a country like Venezuela has been in crisis. Keep an eye on the opposition party. Do other countries like Brazil and Argentina stay in step with the United States now?
Will the opposition party leader, Juan Guaido, become President? It is a good question. There are a few other options as well. Maria Cortina Machado had to flee from Venezuela in cloak and dagger moves. She went missing for almost 11 months before surfacing in Norway. Machado may be the more viable choice going forward.
There is a plan for a peaceful transition to a democratic state. However, getting there will be no easy matter. Venezuela is in shambles and riddled in corruption and crisis. Elections will need to be run and the military there needs to be monitored as well. Machado would be our best pick to assume some sort of transitional power once tensions subside.
This is again a developing story with lots of rumors flying around. Keep this in mind.
