Venezuela’s opposition leader and US-claimed ruler Juan Guaido says Latin America must be alarmed by reports of Iran delivering fuel into Veuezuela in violation of US wishes. The five tankers full of gasoline are en route, and Venezuela’s Defense Ministry says it will escort them to shore.
Guaido didn’t elaborate on why he is opposing this, but the US has been loudly opposed to the transaction between Iran and Venezuela, so it’s likely Guaido is just backing the US position on his country as a matter of course.
Guaido did, however, suggest that the presence of Iranian gasoline caused safety concerns for the country and the region. Venezuela normally makes its own gasoline, but US sanctions have kept them from keeping their refinery going.
The lack of fuel is a big problem for the economy of Venezuela, and potentially a safety concern itself. Since it is a US-imposed shortage, however, Guaido prefers that to Venezuela buying fuel from abroad.
US Puppet Guaido supports Trump’s MAGA project at the expense of his own country’s economy. No leadership material there.
the great guaido has it right. we will help by setting up a naval blockade and give those iranian tugboats 24 hours to reverse course or make new residency at the bottom of the south atlantic ocean.
Like that comical botched attempt a few weeks ago to oust Venezuelan President Muduro resulting in the arrest of two MAGA mercenaries?
that was just a dry run. we are lulling them into a false sense of security. we will get maduro when he is least expecting it.
So how many times until they are lulled?
we could drone him like solemani but we want to do something more symbolic. i’d go with the dragging him behind a bus through the streets of caracas but our higher ups think that is a little over the top.
Seems to me our government did not like Venezuela’s president before this one either . Was it because he kicked out the international oil companies and started the Venezuela co .
we have groomed guaido. all venezuela has to do is accept him and ride the wave to economic prosperity.
Venezuela exports 500,000 barrels of crude every day, they have no shortage of production the problem is the oil they produce is too thick to pump so it needs diluent to thin it.
This is likely what Iran is sending, usually Venezuela buys naphtha from Texas but that supply has been stopped, so Iran is stepping in.
Gasoline works well for this purpose.
Guaido, a US puppet, is a traitor, Venezuela should look him up.
get used to him and ingratiate yourself with him as he will be in charge in the foreseeable future for the the foreseeable future. he is worshipped in caracas already.
your ignorance and stupidity is beyond repair.
my country backs supporting guaido and removing maduro. i just concur because that is what is best for us.
“the fascists in my country” backs guaido…..fixed…
I agree with Jim Bim.
How will be best for “us” if Guaido replaced Maduro????? And who are the “us” whom you content it would be better for and better how.
it’s fairly simple. maduro=socialism and communism. we won’t accept that for venezuela guaido=capitalism and freedom. acceptable by us for venezuela
Is your inability to detect annoying and poorly written sarcasm in nearly spam-like quantities reparable?
Really and yet the people nor the military support him.
juan has loyalists in the city. once you get to know him better you will warm up to him. the other guy will have mysteriously disappeared or maybe publicly. but he will be gone.
If I had any doubt that Guaido was a puppet they have been erased.
he’s there and will take over as soon as we rid the country of that despot maduro. we are not going to let iran, china and russia run amok in our hemisphere.
Since when is trading commodies “running amok”…. There certainly is a lot of talking amok though which can be attributed to thinking amok.. Mustpn’t forget “invading amok” too. What’s surely running amok is Cover 19. It’s wrecking people’s lives, killing the economy and illustrating just how mispaced the priorities of so many states have been for way too long… Too many countrie’s have every type of gun & bomb, bUT no face protection, no accurate tests and not a clue how to stop the damage… .It’s pathetic how inept the politicians and guvernments seem to be… Hard to believe that we have let this plague rage as it has while starting military hostilities in places that are zero threat.
stopping chinese and russian infiltration is more important than the ramifications of an above aveage flu season.
Yeah we are because he is the duly elected president.
an election that was won by coercing the public with threats by maduro’s henchmen. we will rectify that injustice.
For definitions of “duly” that include “made sure all credible opponents were banned from running.”
i don’t know that to be true
Why don’t we try to help Venezuela rather than hurt them .? Our man did not even run for president
If by “our man” you mean the US regime’s man, Juan Guaido, true — he didn’t run for president. He became president per Venezuela’s constitution when the legislature declared the office vacant due to Maduro’s rigging of the election.
This fucker should be shot for treason.
So should our FBI and intelligence agencies and maybe many members of our previous federal administration are equally guilty of treason .
I won’t argue that. They’re are many and at the very least their guilty of war crimes, or misspending our treasure and every chance I get I remind people that even if they’re dead they need to have their reputation tarnished.
