    People have mentioned torture of Maduro or his wife in other threads and I do agree that a tortured confession would be an easy way out of this for them.

        Oh yes the deep state / neocons are pure evil. Trump is evil too, but he has all these weird hang-ups and hesitations when he “should” be decisive. I think it’s some weird TV image thing that he himself doesn’t even understand. There’s nothing I would put past these people but they also keep fucking up
