All right, Alexander, let's do an update on what is going on in Venezuela. We have a report from

the Wall Street Journal, which is now saying that the Trump White House is, or at least President

Trump, is starting to have doubts about some sort of an operation in Venezuela. I have a feeling that a lot of this,

or at least the doubts that Trump is having, let's say, about Venezuela, because a lot of

military hardware has been moved into the region a lot, a big military buildup in the region. But I have a

feeling that a lot of this is connected to the election results from the other day. What are

your thoughts on what's happening in Venezuela?

Absolutely. Now, of course, the other thing to say is that we've got to be very careful

before we assume that these reports are even true.

I mean, Wall Street Journal.

This is what the Wall Street Journal is reporting.

But it could also be deliberate misdirection of the kind that we've often seen from the Trump White House.

I mean, you know, leading the Iranians into a meeting, for example, in Amman and then attacking them,

and leading Hamas into a meeting in Qatar and then attacking them, all things of that kind.

So we've got to be very, very careful about this.

But against that, there are some facts on the ground, which may, just may, suggest

that there is some truth to this story.

And that is that apparently the Gerald Ford, which is the US aircraft carrier, that

is supposedly or was supposedly steaming towards the Caribbean has now stopped.

It's apparently off the coast of Morocco.

That's the story that we're getting.

And the reports say that it's not moving further towards the Caribbean.
