I don't believe Putin authorized this imperial blockade. In the event of aggression against the Venezuelan people, these ships will be sunk by hypersonic missiles.

A reward of US$50 million for information leading to Maduro’s capture. Not bad. Maybe he should offer a business incentive such as “the right to set up an import business that would be allowed to operate tariff free.” I am sure that even Maduro's mother would accept that one. Hold everything they already have that it's known as the drug trade.
