    Complete waste of time mate,
    The Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro blames you for all the mess anyway,

    Why bother trying to help a government that’s dead bent on destroying itself and its country..
    still,
    try as you must.

    Seems to me a lot of action will be taking place in Chile, mostly behind the scenes.

    I hope they don't forget to turn up for the inauguration!

    It seems like it.. If Raul Castro can't travel to Santiago himself he will send one of the most top brass “man of trust” he has.

    Cuba and Brazil at the end of the day are the only ones which have a say in Venezuela at the time..
    This doesn't seem very encouraging for the Venezuelan opposition

    But Maduro claims a US/Panamanian/Uribe/CIA/LOPEZ/student/global-capitalists/ national political opposition/NTN24/neo-fascist/UN/OAS/importers/local businesses/ national print media/ electrical wholesalers/foreign media/YouTube/wholesale food distributors/ Twitter/ foreign filmstars in a joint plot for a 'soft-coup' against him.
    This must be it!
    This is it!
    A little bird told me!

    PS: did I miss anyone else out that Maduro has accused of plotting against him? My apologies!

    Biden well represents US policy...he's a clown.
    As a part of NAFTA we just have to live with him and swallow or pride. Thank goodness we have excellent trade agreements with China and the European Union...

    Think,
    Sorry about that, we came close to being officially a part of NAFTA, but instead have FTAs with Canada, Mexico, and the USA. In many ways a superior deal for us, but also married to a very jealous and
    bossy woman. I love the quote from a Mexican president: “ so far from heaven and too close to the United States.” Or similar to that...

    Venezuela needs to be careful because if not it may have to face the CIA. After the CIA has finished with Congress that is.

    Is Hepatia insane or just stupid beyond comprehension?
