I don't think he is in an unstable political position based on reading about the agricultural communes (which isn't a complete perspective just saying). If people are right to think he has enough support that fighters will come from across Latin America and fight the US, this may be remembered as buffoonish revenge against Venezuelan fishermen for their Cuban bros foiling frogmen in the Bay of Pigs. Welcoming any pessimism though because I am simultaneously playing catch-up on the history of every nation in the world
