Suprisingly zero mention of excessive Cuban influence/control over Venezuela's government and security apparatus.

I would think Cuban meddling in Venezuela would be worth at least a passing mention.
As a Western hemisphere issues, yes your Assumption is right IMO. I DONT SEE Cuba getting much more "involved" in the Venezuela's issues.

America TV media is like a newspaper, you got to sell papers. TV it's all about the ratings and commercials. But we, US, need to be on the look out of what is going on in Latin America. We have Cuba and Venezuela being the biggest socialist countries. We have Hezbollah, Quad Forces there, along with an increased number of AQ related elements. This issues we have have in Mexico is not all drug cartel IMO.
