The secretary of state effectively controls Venezuela’s finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government. His grip on the country is a vivid manifestation of American power in the Trump era. July 11, 2026
As long as Venezuela is doing well, Venezuelans won’t mind but if the country starts having problems, Rubio and the US will get the blame.
I’m not sure they are in position to hold them accountable.
The US might end up being in another Vietnam type war.
I don’t know if the people of Venezuela also has enough patriotism / unity to kick one off.
Not now, but in the future a leader might arise.
