For the sake of argument let's assume Rudy was some great US Attorney who took down the Mob in the 80s. I suppose his great success was his keen insight into his targets thinking. His method? When pursuing a crime figure he asked himself, "What would I do?"

Now it makes sense why Bolton jumped ship. He told Rudy to GTFO of Venezuela. Then when he saw Rudy and Trump criming in Ukraine, that's all she wrote. He knew it was all going to blow up. He only signed up on the hope that he could start bombing Iran. When that failed, he wasn't going to wait around for the inevitable shit to hit the fan.

Maybe you shouldn't be so dependent on US and US-allied media. Who says the elections of May 2018 were "rigged" (and that Maduro's party merely "won") outside the neo-liberal corporate media, and the Venezuelan right wing?
