I like where the Venezuelan government blocked the roads coming form Columbia to block foreign aid / food shipments.

That has desperation all over it.


On the bright side since the Russian, Cuban, Hezbollan, and Nicaraguan troops protecting will get fed, Maduro should hold elections. He will get 100% of the vote. All the the Venezuelans have had to leave (for the most part) to find food.

Counting the foreign troops and making them eligible to vote will give a record turnout.

News outlets should give vote breakdowns such as 100% of the Cuban 110th brigade voted for Maduro.

With results coming in 99% of the Hezbollan troops went for Maduro.
