Will Maduros take Venezuela's gold reserves and run ? The behavior pattern of dictators ? Maybe he will live in an Iranian Cazba? Or head for Cuba? ( see aircraft photo at article linked)
China is owed a LOT of money.
Maduro has to do what he can...
Ping to the dead ends of Venezuelan Socialism. 15 metric Tons of Gold? That’s a lot of moola !
Let him take it and go. in 2 years with true capitalism they will make that money back.

[ Caught RED-handed? ]
Well, I was thinking GOLD-handed, but......maybe it was just a Gold ......... finger.
Or Russia, not Cuba or Iran.
History repeats. The Spanish Republic before it fell transferred the last of its gold reserves to Stalin’s Russia. Today Venezuela is sending its gold to Putin’s Russia. Interesting phenomena.
Attention AOC. Please take notes and report back to us.
Did the CIA disable the plane so the people there could get their money back. no too busy wiretapping trump.
No! He has been using Turkey to refine and is selling to Russia and other countries. This is old news! How this got sensationalized is a prime example of BS news.
During the Spanish Civil War, most of Spain’s gold reserves were shipped by the Communists (alias, Republican forces) to Russia from Communist-controlled Valencia. This was gold in the form of altar vessels, ecclesiastical items, crowns and other royal paraphernalia, and of course, good old ingots.
Getting the gold to Russia seems to be a common leftist dictator pattern.
Smoke the plane when it departs . Recover the gold from the submarine wreckage
Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t take my gold too far away...
Contribution to the Clinton Foundation?
Hopefully the CIA will hijack it.
It is there to take Maduro’s prized art collection of paint-by-numbers on black velvet to safety.
Maybe it brought in 200 Russian hookers to keep Maduro’s senior military officers happy.
Shoot it out of the sky! A sentence the Venezuelans will applaud
