Poor mad Maduro is barking up the wrong tree again. Venezuela has been the property of Argentina ever since the The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in Tordesillas, Spain, on 7 June 1494. Maybe Argentina needs to take control of this oil rich posession that they have been neglecting for so many years.

Next Argentina will want reparations from Spain for the wanton destruction and slaughter carried out during the conquest of the desert.
