General Discussion

The empire has only gone mad in so far as it is allowing an incompetent jerk with zero knowledge of the world to rule over the world's most sophisticated military (subject to change without notice). Pit that against an incompetent "socialist" dictator who is desperately clinging to power to avoid either exile or execution if his people get their hands on him, in which case what was left of Mussolini will seem like Lenin's embalming by comparison. Maduro can't even keep his people fed and clothed, let alone employed. I have talked to some Venezuelan contacts who happen to be at a gathering where I also am this week. Venezuela has no peace or tranquility to threaten.
