Resolves YES if, according to my entirely subjective opinion, the United States government assumes effective control over Venezuela for any contiguous duration of time lasting at least two weeks in the next year. Resolves NO if no such period occurs by December 31st, 2026. This can occur directly via military occupation or as a result of a government which is subservient enough to be effectively controlled by the US. As this resolves entirely according to my subjective opinion, I will not bet.

Don't really know why this was so low on YES, the evidence suggests that Venezuela is effectively a client state of the US at this point and has been for well over the two week duration specified in the resolution criteria. Resolves YES.

@Balasar I wouldn't say this is effective control at all, anyone else dispute ? @mods

@Balasar Are there specific actions you think the Venezuela government has done at the behest of Rubio? I would be curious to read about any. Really.

@strutheo I am curious on which particular evidence he has at hand.

@Tetraspace yes, I’ve seen this. Seems pretty YES leaning.
