The aftermath of mid terms is just starting to be felt. No mea culpas yet from the deranged man at the top, just some updates on his reflecting pool, but his lieutenants are already making moves. JD Vance came up with a hysterical "explanation" of why they lost. Not his opinion, but that of the smartest people he's ever met (?). Marco Rubio's TL on the other hand has been eerily quiet: got the kiss of death from Delcy's office boy the day prior to elections, and some minutes ago he put something up with the usual "The United States will not tolerate..." bullshit. Rubio only speaks for Trump, not for the United States. Some sources report that Rubio may be considering his position. Let's hope the door doesn't hit him and on his way out he drags Mauricio Claver Carone. But what will happen to the "BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD'S HISTORY!" when the Cuban-American mafia stops calling the shots in Venezuela?
Oil production is a long term business. It took PDVSA decades, when it was run professionally, to reach peak production. Once in chavista hands it's only been downside, and time is precisely something Trump is fast running out of. Alejandro Betancourt's benefactors, Rubio and Claver Carone, may have some more important things to consider in the immediate future. If Rubio leaves office > Claver Carone loses leverage, what will happen to Betancourt's criminal file's invisibility cloak? In the sinking MAGA administration, who's gonna come to bat for Betancourt?
To give some context, a totally obscure and unknown Venezuelan, called Jorge Figueira, was sentenced to 12 years by the Department of Justice two days ago, for laundering "...billions of dollars for numerous and varied illicit actors, including drug trafficking organizations. Figueira also agreed to a $1 billion money judgment." No one has heard of the man. Ever.
But Betancourt, involved according to DoJ's own evidence in money laundering schemes exceeding $6 billion? Well, he's Trump's, Rubio's and Claver Carone's personal pick to revitalise PDVSA.
JD Vance won't address the elephant in the room. Neither will Rubio. None is expected to, suddenly, grow a conscience. They are in too deep. The catalogue's too large and it has become THE defining characteristic of their actions. While average Americans struggle these thugs are laughing, strategising, preparing the next move. The stench will follow, wherever they go, forever, and Americans won't be the only ones reminding them. The harm done to America and to the world at large is immense, unquantifiable. Alpargatas, que lo que viene es joropo!
