especially about the discussion on Venezuelan oil versus texas oil ( light sweet crude ). And about petrodollars. And the south florida rabid cuban immigrants who STILL ( 75 years later ) want to return to cuba and get their land back and turn everyone there back into poor farm workers while they become a type of oligarch ( ok, not billionaires, but rich compared to the rest of cuba ).

I am hearing more from my friends in Venezuela... the rumors is that there will be a massive second strike to kill the military and anyone that opposes the new leans right dictator Machado. She has almost zero popular support inside the country. She would not win a free and fair election.

They wanted Maduro gone from power... but they also want him to stand trial IN VENEZUELA, not in the USA.
