But the difference is that neither Lenin nor Trotsky ever thought of telling the Russian workers and peasants, ‘we have had a courteous discussion with the Kaiser to discuss an agenda of mutual interest to the German and Russian people’, in addition to ‘some outstanding issues between the Soviet Republic and the German Empire’.

That may be true...but Stalin did exactly that, when it came to Hitler.

But all joking aside, folks...it's looking more and more likely that Rodríguez cut a deal with Trump in exchange for the Presidency. They take Maduro. She takes control. And they get the oil as payment for facilitating what's essentially a near bloodless coup.
