So we have Venezuelan imploding after Hugo Chávez died last year, Venezuela's economy and civil society in shambles. Yet looking around Latin America, seems from Venezuelan to Brazil they are all having the start of an irregular warfare from these protests.
This article also plays into what is going on down SOTB. |
From a "Fortress Americas"/Monroe Doctrine 2.0 perspective I would think Venezuela is about a jillion times more important to US foreign and economic policy than Ukraine, but from mass media coverage it would appear to be the opposite.
Suprisingly zero mention of excessive Cuban influence/control over Venezuela's government and security apparatus.
I would think Cuban meddling in Venezuela would be worth at least a passing mention.
