Seven weeks after a U.S. military operation on January 3 captured former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, killing 32 Cubans, interim President Delcy Rodríguez has dismissed Cuban advisers from key roles, turning to Venezuelan bodyguards only. This shift follows U.S. pressure, including blocked oil shipments to Cuba, and aligns with economic reforms like a new oil law granting America oversight of sales, which has funneled $1 billion in revenue. A recent poll shows 72% of Venezuelans feeling optimistic about the country's direction under Rodríguez, though opposition voices question her support and highlight fears of U.S. coercion amid calls for elections.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

With Maduro in U.S. custody, Venezuela's interim leader ordered Cuban security teams out of her guard and intelligence units—a sharp break from years of close reliance on Havana's elite protection.

Reactions mix defense of the film's psychological depth—echoing Lecter's distinction—with mockery of Levine's quote and backlash against claims of an apology.
