So, you run a drug cartel. You have connections with the government. You are the government. You want money. Your friends want money. You know there's a big market up "Norte". You can subvert this "Norte" by flooding the country with drugs of all kinds. And make more money. Seems like a plan. Let's do it. Says Nicolas Maduro, the one Venezuelan that it has been difficult to get rid of now. His illegal re-election of 2019 has not been sanctioned by anybody, least of all his Latin American neighbors. He has aligned himself and his "government" with the FARC rebels of Colombia who assist him with his Narcotics export business. The country has collapsed economically, driving millions of refugees across borders into other Latin American nations, creating untold hardships for those people.
Now the US says he is, in fact, a criminal and has indicted him and several co-conspirators in his "government".. What does this mean? Well, it tells his neighbors who might be inclined to do business with this kleptomaniac that they better think twice or thrice before making any deals. The Cuban Communists continue to support this illegal regime/kleptocracy, but they are Cubans, unable to get past their Castros. How this plays out during a pandemic is anybody's guess; but the end is surely near.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
