I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

The real parallel is between Leopoldo Galtieri and the Falkland islands. He used an invasion to distract from his human rights abuses and a worsening economic situation in Argentina. Of course the utter failure of his conquest led to his downfall and the restoration of democracy in Argentina. If only America could have a restoration of democracy.
