The senator’s allusions on Twitter to the fates of Muammar Gaddafi and Nicolae Ceaucescu have been widely misunderstood, Eli Lake writes.
The senator was not threatening intervention or a coup. His message is better understood as a warning about what can happen when a tyrant stays too long. Ceausescu and Qaddafi didn’t learn this lesson until it was too late. Maduro and his family are running out of time.
