If Trump says the USA will run Venezuela,
how will they do it?

I expect it will take a large military presence
there, certainly.

Now what kind of people will comprise thatt
force?

Will they be bankrupt farmers? Will they
all have to be white recruits forced to join
because their lives have been ruined by
Magat polices?

Does this mean it will a kind of forced
expatriation of the poor in our country?

And what will this mean for the Venezuelans?

None of it seems likely to turn out well for
anybody.
