cjr, I agree 100%. Hugo would have to do a complete 180 to tone things down - they have escalated THAT far - I don't think for one second he's about to do that. He's obviously not playing with a full deck and everybody connected to him is too scared shitless to intervene. That "intervention" is and will come from the masses... the very ones who elected him in the first place. I just hope he gets dealt with before too many Venezuelans get hurt. I've said it before, I am completely astounded at how fast the country is unravelling.

If we can wait Hugo out, we'll be all that much better off for it. Perhaps, ultimately, that is Bob Fung's plan?
