    The bony fingers of Raul Castro are in all of this. It was reported only a couple of days ago that Venezuela is still sending free oil to Cuba. Maduro is too weak to retain control without Cuban troops so he is now a puppet of Cuba. It is difficult to think of a tiny island ruling a much larger country but you have to understand that the vast KGB assets and training of the Cuban military make it an elite force. Venezuela has larger oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. Hugo Chavez's daughter is living in the presidential palace, not Maduro, and she has five or six billion dollars in cash.

    The oil is not free. It is bartered for military services.

    Yeah, I agree. Maduro does not have the elite troops to crack down on people who want him out. Castro does have the elite troops and so he annexed Venezuela. Drugs going to Europe from Latin America leave from the Caracas airport. Iran and China are active in Venezuela and about a year ago, maybe longer, Putin forgave a 30 billion dollar debt that the Castros owed him. There is some arms traffic between North Korea and Cuba as Colombia has intercepted a couple of shipments at the beautiful colonial port city of Cartagena, Colombia. The Cubans are also accused of helping Ortega violently repress the demonstrations against him in Nicaragua so the Cuban military is all over the place. Raul has already reduced Cuba to the situation in Venezuela and he is arresting more than his brother did. The main weapon of socialism/communism is starvation.
