Juxtaposition: Fact and Fiction



It is interesting considering Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony this past week, to be watching The Adventures of Jack Ryan [Amazon Prime] Season 2 – Episode 6 “Persona non Grata”.
I had to stop watching the Prime episode, halfway through, because it was so probably real in its’ depiction of a situation gone awry, and I wanted to write these thoughts down.  No one’s fault explicitly, but they are evacuating the Embassy in Caracas, because of “bad actors” stirring the pot.  There is potential election fraud and corruption in the government going on.
The bottom line is that the Ambassador (a woman) is dealing with the situation as best she can.  There are rogue Venezuelans, as well as many foreign “agents” stirring up unrest, all with different agendas.  It is a seething cauldron of chaos.
That’s Marie Yovanovitch’s workplace environment, and she didn’t stoop to displaying her dirty laundry, but as a loyal American State Department employee, she just answered the questions asked.
