Venezuelan generals have told European diplomatic officials that they need the MiGs to protect the Panama Canal. When asked against whom, the air chiefs wouldn’t specify.

Um, isn't the Panama Canal the responsibility of Panama? Something about the explanation sounds fishy to me.

Not many people know that Panama sold the eastern and western ports to Hutchinson Whampoa - a Chinese conglomerate onwed by Li Ki-shing, a billionare with extensive ties to the Red Army upper echelon and the Politboro.

This is why they need to protect the canal. This is why the Chinese are setting up shop in Haiti. This is why Brazil is increasing trade with China.

China controls the locks and gets the left-wing Latin governments to provide security.
