The ground shook in Caracas this morning. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake. But the real tremors are political. Maduro's regime was already teetering. Now? A nation already on its knees is now scrambling.
Hospitals without power. Aftershocks rattling nerves. But the real aftershock? The collapse of state capacity. This is a government that couldn't fix the lights. Now it can't hold up the walls.
Opposition sources whisper. They smell an opportunity. The cracks in the regime's facade are widening. But beware: A wounded Maduro is a dangerous Maduro. He will use this. Expect martial law talk. Expect crackdowns under the guise of relief.
International attention? A distraction. The US and EU are consumed with their own crises. China might write a cheque. But Cheques don't rebuild cities. Not when the state is a hollowed-out shell.
The ground isn't just shaking in Venezuela. It's the ground under Maduro's feet. How he handles this? It might define his endgame. Watch the military. Watch the generals. They hold the true power now.
