Pompeo claims Russia stopped Maduro leaving Venezuela for Cuba
CNN ^ | Apr. 30, 2019 | Jennifer Hansler

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed Tuesday that embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was preparing to leave the country for Cuba, but was talked out of it by Russia.

"We've watched throughout the day, it's been a long time since anyone's seen Maduro," Pompeo said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room."

"He had an airplane on the tarmac, he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it and the Russians indicated he should stay."

"He was headed for Havana," Pompeo said.

The phrase “fake news” has been getting thrown around here too easily lately.

Putin is a Russian. This is what they do.

The Venezuelan people need to do the fighting. I mean 100%.


We learn by doing. If the Venezuelans don’t get themselves out of the mess they got themselves into, the lesson will go unlearned, leading them back to socialism at every opportunity.

I don’t believe anything that Pompeo says or that CNN reports. This approach has proven correct 9 times out of 10.

Seems longer than lately to me. I guess some folks are only good for one or two lines, which they use for every post no matter the subject.

Your supplying ammo to people who supposedly had their weapons taken away. Or you want to supply the military groups that are defecting? As for whether it was a logical question and you feel it isn’t and I’m supposed to shut the fuck up? Great Master of the Universe! Is there anybody else on this web who shouldn’t ask questions or is it just me?

Not enough Venezuelans to put up much fight to be honest

There’s no Maduro Revolutionary Guards or Fedayeen Saddam down there

Colombians and Brasil backed by our AirPower and technology and logistics is my thought

I know the place fairly well

But I admit it’s dated info

In my day it was worth saving for the women-if nothing else..lol

What you said, ‘They voted the SOB in.’

Actions have consequences, there is no way we should get involved.

I’m getting tired of all these countries wanting us to fix the problems THEY created. Many fine individuals have died making this the wonderful country it is, no one handed it to our Founding Fathers. They need a complete redo but they need to do it themselves. (Venezuela, Honduras, el Salvador and many others)

We should offer him a nice free condo in Rio Linda if that’s all it takes to Make Venezuela Great Again.

I think he’s headed for San Antonio where he will claim Refugee status can be released on his own within 48 hours. Probably bring a few kids with him.

I assume Maduro has already shipped a chunk of his country’s gold supply to China or Russia ahead of his fleeing

Pompeo is probably a bigger liar than Satan. I have read the doc’s he authored on VZ from when he was @ CIA.

Then change his name to Nick Wood, AKA blockhead and apply to work as a TSA screener or possibly a school guard.
