ReutersIn the first half of 2019, Venezuela began to suffer gasoline shortages. This, on its face, was preposterous. The nation had the world’s largest proven oil reserves—its refineries boasted the capacity to supply the country’s needs many times over. Yet drivers up and down the land found themselves waiting days on end in lines outside gas stations, bringing to mind the old joke about how if communists took over the Sahara it would run out of sand.
At the same time, tanker ships were departing from Venezuelan terminals full of oil. They did so in contravention of U.S. sanctions, turning off their satellite tracking devices to avoid detection and heading north-northwest…toward Cuba. This image tells the fundamental story of Venezuela’s multilevel disaster. Even amid crippling gas shortages that left Venezuela in economic free fall, Caracas’s priorities were clear: Cuba’s needs come first. Always.
Stay strong gentleman.
American is doing the same.
Another good post-morten of case Venezuela. What about idea for solution in next article?
FrasierSein US sanctions and coup attempts had nothing to do with that, of course.

'Rust' crew members claim set was not 'chaotic, dangerous' before fatal shootingThe letter, shared by actor Alec Baldwin, follows complaints, including two lawsuits, alleging unsafe working conditions on set. The person that got shot and killed by Alec Baldwin would disagree Alec Baldwin is now shitting himself that his production company is liable.
