At the same time, I&#8217;m also very, very, <strong>very<\/strong> uncomfortable with the Maduro regime, and what they&#8217;re doing in many areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Fifth Column<\/em> had an interview with Thor Halvorssen<br> where he discussed what&#8217;s going on in his home  country.  Then <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mar%C3%ADa_Corina_Machado\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mar\u00eda Corina Machado<\/a> won the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a ton of information that&#8217;s come out courtesy Milei in Argentina about some of the stuff the Iranians, Russians, and Chinese were trying to do there under the Peronists.  Venezuela was a friendly place to the north sitting on a ton of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get into some of the ancillary conspiracy theories about things like the coding of the electronic voting machines originating from .vz, etc..  I&#8217;ll leave that to Lara Logan, but there&#8217;s more than a little smoke about what&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OrangeManBad points the finger at Fentanyl, but I suspect the boats were probably carrying cocaine smuggled in under a compliant Maduro government.  Do whatever y&#8217;all want so long as we get our cut.  Oil ain&#8217;t selling all that well, now.  Those stupid Americans and Canuckistanis learned a new way to coax oil of the ground.  Imperialists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After several cuts, we&#8217;ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/opec-set-hold-oil-output-policy-steady-sunday-sources-say-2025-11-29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hold fast<\/a>, even as the price keeps dropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on the drug boats, I was reminded of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iraqi_no-fly_zones_conflict\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iraq No-Fly Zone<\/a> from the Bush41 and Clinton years.  (Okay, I&#8217;ll admit that I was thinking about some of the A2A glories of the F-4, and that was probably one of the last times it was used in combat, but&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pappy Bush justified it under another UN resolution.  The UN Security Council couldn&#8217;t block what the Americans, Brits, and French were doing.  Several other countries went along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what the Air Force was doing when <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Khobar_Towers_bombing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khobar Towers<\/a> happened.  (I know, I know, Libertarian Institute;  this was only to sell weapons to defense companies, and was all a par5t of a regime-change operation aimed at Iran from Saudi Arabia.  Complete.  i get it.  I listen, Jersey Dave.  I understand!!1!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, what&#8217;s happening looks an awful lot like a maritime version of the no-fly zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m okay with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should probably work on an OWT entry on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the 1990s.
