those in power cannot be imprisoned.

This just sounds like business as usual.

I can see a continued/exacerbated erosion of faith in various institutions, and a corresponding use of state violence to maintain the status quo, but without a serious (well organized, with mass support) alternative, the current ruling class will stay in power and nothing will change dramatically. We’ll just continue along the downward spiral, same as before.

So when the US “neutralized a Venezuelan tanker”, that wasn’t an escalation, but now when Maduro takes measures to prevent this happening again, now it’s a “significant escalation”??
