If true, this can’t be good.
Hopefully the Russians aren’t lying. If they are, oh boy.

The presumed successor to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is currently in Russia, a report said Saturday. Four sources familiar with the movements of Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez confirmed her location to Reuters, although the news agency cited Russia’s foreign ministry as claiming the report was "fake."
Hopefully the Russians aren’t lying. If they are, oh boy.

She was already there. Folks claim she's Russian intelligence.

Russia isn't going to take this expansion of globalism into his domain lightly, but how did this happen if she's in Russia?
Venezuela’s Interim Leader Defies Trump and Calls Maduro the ‘Only President’
Venezuela’s Interim Leader Defies Trump and Calls Maduro the ‘Only President’
quote:
President Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country. “She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said. Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected. “We are determined to be free,” she said. “What is being done to Venezuela is a barbarity.”
Her swift defiance of Mr. Trump made clear that his plans to swoop into the South American nation and run it as his own faced many more hurdles than he suggested in his Saturday news conference declaring victory in Venezuela. “We had already warned that an aggression was underway under false excuses and false pretenses, and that the masks had fallen off, revealing only one objective: regime change in Venezuela,” she said. “This regime change would also allow for the seizure of our energy, mineral and natural resources. This is the true objective, and the world and the international community must know it.”
Significantly, Ms. Rodríguez delivered her address alongside what she called Venezuela’s National Defense Council, which included the nation’s defense minister, attorney general and the heads of the country’s legislature and judiciary. That unified front directly contradicted Mr. Trump’s claim that the United States would run Venezuela, especially given that White House and Pentagon officials had said that U.S. forces had already withdrawn from the nation. Venezuela’s defense minister and attorney general also both publicly criticized Mr. Trump and the U.S. military action on Saturday. In his news conference, Mr. Trump said that Venezuelan leaders must comply with the United States or else. “All political and military figures must realize that what happened to Maduro can happen to them,” he said. Ms. Rodríguez’s speech also made clear that Mr. Maduro’s supporters — including her — still see him as the nation’s legitimate leader.
She repeatedly said that Mr. Maduro was Venezuela’s “only president” and even the text on Venezuelan state television labeled her as vice president. When she ended, the state broadcaster said that Ms. Rodríguez was the vice president who had just stated that Mr. Maduro was Venezuela’s president.

She will do what the frick she's told or she will be next. Trump stated it explicitly.

That is certainly an indication of an elevated level of complication.

The communists already seized all of this. It’s why you need a wheelbarrow full of cash just to purchase a sandwich.
I’m sure Russia and China are only interested in the nice people and not the oil.

Why would anyone think she’ll be his successor? Seems like her legitimacy would be questioned too. I’d expect another election to determine the next leader.

Other than the removal of Maduro and his wife and the killing of about 40 people in the execution of their arrest on drug charges, nothing has changed in Venezuela.
We don't know what's really going on in Venezuela. My guess is that we made a deal with Rodríguez. The Venezuelan military stood down to let Maduro and wife be taken. Rodríguez remains in charge in Venezuela to negotiate the terms for restoring the dominance of American oil companies in extracting Venezuela's massive oil reserves. As long as that is allowed, Rodriguez will remain in charge.

She received notification from COTS that she better shun OMB or enjoy her last sunset

Likely the Venezuelan military did not stand down as you’ve stated. The Venezuelan military was blinded and confused by the American military technology. The shock and awe moment if you will.

Socialists tend to get really pissy when you mess with their Glorious Revolution and Struggle.

Russia has very strong ties to Venezuela recently.
