#Venezuela A thread from me, a former #WhiteHouse #NationalSecurity staffer:(1 of 7)
This article from #Florida- @MiamiHerald - miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo… miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo… 🇻🇪...

2. As a Latina, Intelligence Officer & really just someone with common sense who was in the #WhiteHouse, watching @realDonaldTrump’s complete mismanagement & failure on this #Venezuela nation building attempt, first hand, has been upsetting from day one.

7. Russia & China will capitalize on @Chevron’s groundwork should the #Maduro regime truly ever fall. Sanctions only go so far. They’re one of many tools needed for actual diplomacy. So for the sake of #Venezuela as a result of @realDonaldTrump’s failure...#VoteHimOut (The End)
