Caracas did not wake up so much as it got yanked out of bed by a fistful of explosions, and by sunrise Maduro and Flores were gone, hauled out on a Delta Force rumor trail that the White House has not bothered to pin down while the rest of the country stares into the smoke and waits to see what comes next.
