For the first time ever! I agree with Trump’s decision to recognize Juan Guiado as interim President of Venezuela. I also saw the Canada and Brazil have announced recognition as well. Things might get interesting in the next few days.

The list of countries recognizing Guiado is growing fast, up to at least 15 by my count.

here we go, new Syria (i hope no)

For some reason I don’t see this turning into a civil war, though the conditions required are definitely present

I predict Maduro will just quit and flee to another country this year or the next. At some point his own military will betray him (there already signs of that) and force him out. Don't think there is a chance for a real war.

The real question is who emerges as the next leader of Venezuela

Probably some random right winger pro-market pro-US guy. That really doesn't matter anyway, at this point most venezueleans (like 80%) just want Maduro out and then think later.

    • If Colturi were to return to Italy, we will have another super duo after Goggia and Brignone. If Colturi has to return, it would be right now, when alpine skiing is so popular here. There are still girls like Pirovano, who are quite young and are already started winning. Alpine skiing in Italy is similar to ski jumping in Poland: there are speak about no young talents, but there is always someone new – it is a matter of the popularity of these sports in these countries and the large amounts of money invested in them.

    • Holdener beat Aicher for 2nd place by 0.04 so Aicher has to win the last GS to have any chance for the overall (trails Shiffrin by 85 pts).
    • Shiffrin wins by 1.32 secs! Business as usual 
    • Anna Trocker takes the lead despite a big mistake. Maybe there is some future for  alping skiing 
    • Lucas seems to be on another level in Giant Slalom right now. 
    • Pinheiro Braathen wins the last GS and the small globe! Odermatt DNF in the first run and he's really tailed off in the last races.
