Excerpts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


I barely need to reiterate what you already know: the close links that exist between our people and the people of Venezuela and Hugo Chavez, the promoter of the Bolivarian Revolution and the United Socialist Party he founded. \u2014Fidel Castro
<\/p>

When you see people starving in Venezuela and fleeing into neighboring countries and realize that this is a country that once had the world\u2019s largest oil reserves, you realize that they\u2019ve ruined a very good prospect with ideas that sounded good but didn\u2019t turn out well.\u00a0 \u2014Thomas Sowell

We\u2019re in a global war, facing an enemy alliance that runs from Pyongyang, North Korea, to Havana, Cuba, and Caracas, Venezuela. \u2014General Michael T. Flynn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


Venezuela sits at the northern tip of South America with Columbia on the west and Guyana on the east.  The country is collapsing. The constant blackouts have put hundreds of patients at risk and many have already died, food is rotting, and water is at a shortage. According to media reports, schoolchildren and oil workers have begun passing out from hunger, and sick Venezuelans have scoured veterinary offices for medicine. <\/em>Link<\/em><\/a>  Malaria, measles, and diphtheria have returned with a vengeance. The country\u2019s infrastructure is falling apart along with their decaying power grid, and telecommunication networks have collapsed. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

………………………………………………………<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Venezuela\u2019s collapse, Maduro is begging Beijing; China\u2019s price will be high as Venezuela\u2019s debt to them is already in the billions.  Xi Jinping needs a presence of power that encourages foreign governments to believe they should play ball with Beijing, not Washington. And that means China\u2019s <\/em>increased military presence<\/em><\/a> around the world, and what better place than Venezuela or one of her islands in the southern Caribbean.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would Maduro risk U.S. ire by allowing Chinese basing rights? I think so. Maduro is already increasing his rhetoric against Washington and has <\/em>repeatedly threatened<\/em><\/a> Colombia. At the same time, the Venezuelan leader knows the U.S. and its allies believe he is an irredeemable despot: They want no part of a rapprochement with his regime.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
