There is a lot of self-interest powering her decision-making, but there's no question that her performance this year has also required steady doses of personal and political courage. Good for her.

Hundreds of political prisoners still languish in prisons and the motorcycle militia continues to patrol in the cities looking for dissenters. Delcy is not only surviving, she's also playing Trump just like Putin and Kim play him.

(Ghost guest writer is either Alexander Muse or writes in his style.) At any rate, this is a wonderful article full of details that a lay person can understand. I'm sitting at my kitchen table in Oklahoma! Keenly aware of ALL the products we consume daily which arrive via deisel TRUCKS.

AS FAR AS I REMEMBER IT WAS DEMOCRAT OVER REGULATIONS & THE POLICY TO SEND PROCESSING OFFSHORE THAT WORKED TO CLOSE REFINERIES IN USA. NO BIT OF FINGER POINTING AT TRUMP OR AT ANYBODY WITHOUT OPENLY EXPOSING THE MOST RUTHLESS AND SELF DESTRUCTIVE DEMOCRAT LOSER ATTITUDES AND POLICIES CAN ENSURE ACCURACY PROMOTE READERSHIP AND INTEGRITY. AS AN OLD FELLOW I TIRE OF GASLIGHTING & DECEPTION MADE POPULAR & COOL DURING THE OBSCUMBO ERA. LETS UNRAVEL HISTORY SOME 25 26 27 YEARS & THEN PLAY IT FORWARD FOR A CLEAN CLEARER PICTURE OF CURRENT EVENTS. THANKS

Looks like a in-depth article but unfortunately a lot of the things Delcy promised to do, have not happened: Helicoide remains a torture center and still to date around 1000 political prisoners remain in jails or missing. She is basically waiting for Trump to be out of the US Presidency for her to continue “El Sueño de Chavez”. Behind curtains she is plotting for Chavez’s Revolution to continue with Miguel Rodriguez Torres. I hope Trump and his team are meeting with Venezuelans that truly know who is who in the Venezuelan community so the Trump led Venezuelan-transition does not become a Nicaragua getting Sandinistas back in power after a failed try by former Nicaraguan President Chamorro.

Is Exxon still out of the game? They certainly don't trust the 2029 horizon let alone the ten year horizon. If I were little commies, I would wait for the oil revenue to hit peak levels then pounce.
