A Short and Glorious War?

What is Venezuela's thug ruler Maduro up to?

Uh oh:

Maduro said Friday evening that he was closing the nation's maritime border with Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.

In a televised appearance, the president accused island leaders of being complicit in the illegal trafficking of goods and resources.

The closure is to last 72 hours. What's up with that?

Could Maduro have finally identified these island possessions of the Netherlands as the scapegoat and easy target to rally his people around him for a short and glorious war?

He's desperate. So he's dangerous.
