Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's changeless regime change in Venezuela.

A statement in the video, the day of Trump's move, that got a whole lot of pushback and criticism,

was that we didn't see any kind of coherent strategy

for a transition of government functions and that the military and security services still seemed

firmly in control. We were told we didn't know what we were talking about and didn't understand

the planning that went into this.

Well, now we know why there was no apparent transition plan.

It's the obvious reason. There is no transition plan.

It appears that the administration is content to leave the rest of the regime in power.

To all those who sent videos of celebrations in Miami that you thought occurred in Caracas,

you might want to check in on them. They're probably feeling pretty played right now.

It's foreign policy. It's not about democracy. It's about power. And with Trump, it's primarily

about money. At least for the time being, the Trump administration seems perfectly happy,

leaving Maduro's VP, Delci Rodriguez, in power. I know the obvious question is why the administration didn't throw its weight

behind the Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Maria Carina Machado.

The humorous answer is that she got the Peace Prize he desperately wanted.

The real answer is that she would only be considered if this was about democracy.

First, it's foreign policy. It's about power. Not democracy.

Second, is there something in Trump's history I'm missing that would lead me to believe he's an advocate

for democracy? So what's the plan? The plan is to basically use the constant threat of

U.S. military force to obtain economic compliance from the parts of the Maduro regime left
