Obama, Cuba and Venezuela

[Peace Patriot]

4. I'll be damned if I can understand how Venezuela is an "extraordinary threat"...

...to U.S. national security, except in the horribly twisted minds of Washington policy-makers and 'think tanks' who believe really twisted shit, such as that Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally.

And it is appalling to have Barack Obama buying into twisted shit.

Maybe it's a sop to the Miami Mafia, to try to shut them up while he does something really different in U.S./Latin American relations: the opening to Cuba. They hate Venezuela just as much, so let Venezuela take the hit, while Mr. Sleight-of-Hand undoes 50 years of injustice to Cuba.

I don't know. You have to sort of think in a twisted fashion to understand almost anything that comes out of Washington DC.
