Putin to Maduro's rescue
Last Saturday, two Russian air force planes landed in Caracas carrying a senior defence official and troops. Washington complained. Yesterday, Trump tweeted that he was completely exonerated by the Mueller Report. This is not actually true. On the one hand, Mueller did not find evidence that Trump had conspired with Russia, but on the other he did not have enough evidence to prosecute him with regards to obstruction of justice. The details are sketchy, because most of the available information has come from, Trump appointee, Attorney General William Barr. Only when the report is made public, will we have a clearer idea. In the meantime, Maduro can breathe a sigh of relief.
Trump uncharacteristically cautious
Trump is treading very carefully around issues involving Russia, such as its annexation of Crimea, its involvement in Syria and now this provocation in the so called "back yard" of the US. It is hard to imagine any other Republican President being so laid-back about these imperialistic moves by a Russian leader. Perhaps we just need some more time to see whether Trump is actually in Putin's pocket or not. One thing is certain, if he is, the charges of treason should not rest with him alone. Anyone guilty of trying to cover up the betrayal of the people of the US are equally culpable.
