| Isolated Venezuela |
The Saker has an interesting back story and I enjoy his writing but his recent posts on Venezuela show more emotion and are a little less analytical than usual. Despite awarding the recent round to Maduro the Saker expects more trouble ahead.
The prolific David Goldman calls the Guerra de Nervios a "Bloody War of Attrition". Goldman states that the United States does not have any good choice but favors a U.S. policy of constant subversion and mayhem. Just like the Saker, a reader may not agree with his positions but his articles are always worth a read. In his article Goldman devotes a few paragraphs on explaining that Latin American revolutions are usually "prolonged, bloody wars of attrition" (e.g. Columbia). Also, there is a link to a ForesightCuba.com article on the Cuban Army in Venezuela. Translating that post and seeing if I can find additional information online will be the subject of my next Venezuela piece.
The Saker links to Nat South's post analyzing sea and air traffic in the Caribbean during the recent humanitarian aid push. Via Nat South I discovered the Twitter account of Steffan Watkins, worth following, not just for the situation in Venezuela but for anyone interested in analysis based upon open source reporting and sighting of military assets, worldwide.
