The best part about this is that Giuliani gave this press conference while literally wearing glasses manufactured by the company of Alejandro Betancourt, a name well-known to

Hugo Chavez is trending on Twitter during a Rudy Giuliani press conference! Is it because Giuliani's law firm was paid $170,000 to lobby for Chavez around 2005-2007? Or is it his more recent lobbying work for corrupt Venezuelans linked to Maduro while he was also Trump's lawyer?

Problem w/ trying to scare Venezuela’s military into flipping by threatening invasion is that it ignores their actual incentives. The military/Chavismo as a political force still have no clear guarantees in a post-Maduro future. This should be next step. More carrots, less stick.
Escenario probable: Trump & Co llevan la invasion militar casi al límite, hasta el punto donde los generales venezolanos tumban a Maduro para no inmolarse con él.

The Norwegian government has decades of mediation and negotiations experience. It’s a cornerstone of Norway’s foreign policy.
This is a good thing.
