Kudos to David Kristofferson on his “the Downsides to the Venezuelan raid” letter to the editor in the Jan 28 edition of the San Mateo Daily Journal.

Hey David - with respect to Venezuela - have you even kept up with the developments there? Sorry to burst your bubble but Trump's strategy appears to be working, especially for the Venezuelans. Hundreds of political prisoners are being released, their oil is now being sold on the world market and will benefit the economy of Venezuela instead of their elites. Venezuelans are also going back from all over the world to the country that has not been safe for them for decades. Now, without a drastic regime change, could you have thought of a better outcome? Yes, Cuba and Nicaragua are next and their populations cannot wait to see their corrupt and inept leaders thrown out. Mr. Kristofferson should stick with his own expertise instead of commenting on geopolitics that he picks up from the chicken-littles at MSNBC.

Thank you for visiting the Daily Journal.
