#2 He'll survive like Mugabe survives. There is no real internal force that can remove him otherwise it would have already occurred. Hope is not a strategy. He'll just ratchet up the repression, just like all the other thugs before him. The one big mistake he could do is to antagonize the Colombians and neutralize the other states to intervene in his defense when they act.
