The $6-Billion Loss?

 Someone brought up today....that ultra-modern crappy air  defense system that Russia delivered to Venezuela....on credit....had a pay-back bill of $6-Billion. 

The question is....will Venezuela pay the money?

I  paused over this....what was rigged up....was a China-to-Venezuela-to-Russia deal.  China bought Venezuelan oil....likely paying in Yuan....which gave Venezuela a chance to buy Russian crap....paying with Yuan.   The Russians?  They probably then used the Yuan to buy crap from China.

So....if the cycle is stopped....China and Russia are probably both starting to worry about the finances they have rigged up.  Plus....they have to wonder....what if Trump moves onto Columbia, or Cuba.

Are we all done?  Well....there is this massive oil/natural gas find in Guyana (2024) and Maduro was thinking of consuming that. 

Five Things Out Of The Maduro Situation

 First, he's going to blab (for a deal) over election fraud in Venezuela, several Latin American countries, and probably the 2020 US election.  He'll blab over CIA operations that aren't officially supported by the Trump team.  He'll blab over training deals with Iran.  And he'll blab over financial support for US Republican and Democratic Senators (my guess is that at least 15 of them are getting cash flow).

Second, I don't think his sentence will involve more than 5 years of prison....to be released into Dubai, with X-amount of money.

Third, after all the election corruption comes out....the 2026 November election will be a problem for several states who intended to run electronically.  I suspect the Administration will mandate E-voting is too corrupted to use.

Fourth, just guessing....more than ten US senators will resign by spring....because of his capture.

Fifth, drug cartel folks probably stressed out and looking for a new avenue.
