What makes them think Venezuela has any gold at all?

[ronnie raygun]

Sounds like the mullahs are going to make a break for it

I have never heard the word circumambulate use to mean circumvent before. Colorful.

Mahmoud the little Iranian propagandist?

He’s calling international arms shipments oil refinery rehab equioment

[kevslisababy]

I guess this means that Iran has run out of the Obama stash

The memory hole reminds us that Russia took most of the gold reserves under Chavez and at the time of his death. Under Chavez VN had something like 229 mobile oil rigs. In just two years, under sanctions from the US (Those rigs belonged to US Oil companies), the number of working rigs dropped to about 100. Most of the rig team leadership were executed along the way as the rigs died; those who lived did so by fleeing the country. Chavez run his oil production into the ground and lost the necessary expertise to keep it going. Iran imported over a half million rifles. Iran linked terrorists used VN as a staging grounds for reconnaissance to destroy American owned companies, kill America Citizens and attack Diplomatic Missions/personnel in the event of War with the USA (Iranian leadership has always threatened to attack all US Diplomatic Missions, American owned companies kill US Citizens in the event of conflict with the USA). Iranian and Russian Enforcement Units ensure continued Socialist Dictatorship solvency in charge of VN. Democrats from the USA LOVE VN Socialism....

The Memory hole reminds us (USA) that almost all of the Cocaine coming into Africa and into Europe/Russia comes from VN, as does the cocaine entering the US. The cocaine trade from VN is complicit with political leaders in the USA and every country in Europe and thus it will never stop.

So Venezuela is relying on Iranians to restore their oil refineries
Refining oil must be easier than I thought.

Oil dominates Venezuela’s economy, accounting for almost all of its export earnings. Its biggest customers have been the US, followed by India and China.

Now their big sales are basically India. And with the loss of a majority of the sales of the US and the cutback of China, just selling to India will not suffice. Almost everyone now that was in the mix with them, is oil sufficient or is trading oil faster than they are. They are competing with their customers. Can’t win that one.
