#GiftArticle#MarcoRubio takes on his nth job for #Trump. The secretary of state, national security adviser, acting archivist & administrator of the defunct USAID, & now the freaking Viceroy of #Venezuela.The #hubris of this admin seems boundless.
The top #US “diplomat” who has pushed for regime change for over a decade was central to masterminding the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás #Maduro on Saturday, ofcls familiar with the planning said.#law #geopoliticshttps://wapo.st/4pjdAx3

…with no immediate successor to govern the country of roughly 29 million, #Trump is leaning on #Rubio to help “run” #Venezuela, divvy up its #oil assets & usher in a new government, a fraught & daunting task for someone with so many other responsibilities.“The task in front of him is stupefying,” said a senior #US official, noting the dizzying array of policy decisions related to #energy, #elections, #sanctions & #security that await.#geopolitics #law #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

@Nonilex please send him to Venezuela. Let’s see how long he'll last.

The moment marks the realization of a long-held goal for #Rubio, who has voiced his criticisms of #Maduro & desire for change in #Venezuela for well over a decade. Those who have worked closely with Rubio, whose parents fled #Cuba shortly before the Communist takeover in 1959, say the issues of the region are close to his heart.“Marco’s parents’ experience…is hardwired in him” said Cesar Conda, a Republican strategist who worked as the fmr senator’s chief of staff 2011–2014.#geopolitics #law

@Nonilex " whose parents fled #Cuba shortly before the Communist takeover in 1959""“Marco’s parents’ experience…is hardwired in him”"So a typical #Conservative #Republican then?Opinions and positions formed over 60 years ago, and unchanged by any faint glimmer of reality sinceThat tracks

@Nonilex "The region"?? Havana is equally distant from Carácas as from New York City!

@Nonilex The only viceroy I acknowledge is Nute Gunray, and also, fuck him. Fuck both of them. Fuck the fictional alien and the pathetic taint-stain meme Rubio.

@Nonilex It occurs to me that a character like Rubio, who I wouldn’t doubt would have a family of rich folks in Cuba that inspired revolution in the first place will go onto demonstrate why there is been revolutions in the Americas for decades and centuries

@Nonilex This makes Marco's parents sound like pathetic immigrants rather than the enthusiastic followers of the evil tyrant Fulgencio Batista. Like Batista the Rubio family fled Cuba when they saw danger coming to their privileged lives.#Cuba #Venezuela #marcorubio

@Nonilex You'd think Trump et al had enough on their plate fixing the economy, medicare, inflation etc without trying to run another country.
