A Complicated Week
Clarice Feldman
The attention of those less politically minded is focused on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy -- always fodder for the would-be Columbos and Miss Marples -- and the Olympics. Yet this week saw some victories for the administration along with some serious unfinished business.
The ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro seems isolated, depressed, and devoid of funds sufficient to hire teams of lawyers to defend him. Any claims he might have for immunity seem destined to fail. The evidence establishes he was born in Colombia; his claim falls because only a native Venezuelan is entitled to hold the office of president. Without Maduro’s presence and with the U.S. actively engaged, the Venezuelan economy appears to be rapidly coming back to life.
Without the assets looted from Venezuela and used to sustain the neighboring tyrants of Cuba, that country is teetering rapidly toward an end. It is out of fuel, electricity, medicine, and food. American flags have been seen flying over some of the dilapidated buildings which remain after decades of misrule. I can’t imagine it will last much longer, and I expect many exiles will return to rebuild the island once the thieves are out of office.
