It just gets more and more extraordinary.
The pictures, the facts of what's happening in Venezuela,
but also what's happening outside Venezuela with Nicolás Maduro, the president,
should we perhaps call him former president, seized by the US military,
of course, along with his wife, handcuffed, taken now to court.
in New York surrounded by armed guards,
he's in prison clothing, China demanding that the US free him.
It is all a hugely, hugely interesting subject to put it mildly.
We've got a load of questions about it on Five Live.
Before we get to our Five Live session, though, and the questions that we answered,
let's get to a central one that an awful lot of people are asking.
It's asked for us this time round by Mary in Kentucky.
Given the recent developments of Venezuela,
I wanted to ask what the team think Trump means when he says the US will run Venezuela.
Does he mean that in more of an overseer position while dangling the threat of military involvement?
Or might it be a more hands-on approach,
such as actually using the military to force out Moldova's remaining government and putting in someone of the US's choosing?
Is it realistic to expect Maduro's government to just roll over and accept the necessary changes or is a stronger hand by the U.S.
involved to keep things from spiraling into further chaos.
That's a really good question, Mary, and both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have addressed it.
