I haven't followed this all that closely and it's puzzling.

watch what they do. We know the Russians are already in Venezuela, as well as the Cubans.

Donnie doesn't care about democracy in Venezuela. Donnie cares about Donnie.

Don't believe what they say, watch what they do.

Trump may not truly care, but Pence and Bolton do, and they have convinced Trump that red baiting is winning political tactic.

That's what I'm doing. Trying to figure out just how this works to Russia's benefit.

"Venezuela" has far too many syllables for him to remember.

Maduro may have run Venezuela's economy into the ground, but they still have a lot of natural resources to exploit, and there are probably still a few hundred thousand large gold coins of theirs that are still sitting in Cuba, waiting to be shipped to Toronto.Some were sold in Europe, but most of the ones sold so far were sold in Toronto, and then on to the USA.
