That's an excellent outcome to hope for. The odds are that we have already used up our "stopped clock is right every 12 hours" karma. Not that anyone should feel sorry for Maduro.

as far as Trump capitalizes on Europe's demise, this won't happen

[RealityVoid]

The news of Europe's demise are greatly exaggerated. What's it going to do? Sink in the ocean like Atlantis?

[amelius]

Nope, nukes will prevent that.

[aneutron]

Episodes like these only serve to cement that Iran and North Korea are right to think that having nuclear deterrence is the only viable insurance policy.

(Delivery & effectiveness is another subject on its own but still)

What we saw with Venezuela was something nukes wouldn't prevent. Doing the same with Putin is infinitely harder, but if it did occur, chances are whoever fills in the power vacuum in Russia would be pretty happy with their situation.
