I AM SURE THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RELIEVED TO HEAR THAT PRESIDENT VLADAMIR PUTIN OF RUSSIA HAD NO INTEREST IN VENEZUELA. HOWEVER, IT DOES MAKE ONE WONDER WHY THERE IS A CONTINGENT OF ELITE RUSSIAN “SPETSNAZ” SURROUNDING THE ILLEGITIMATE ACTING DICTATOR NICOLAS MADURO. WE WILL SURELY NOT BE SEEING ANY SPETSNAZ ON CAMERA AND IF WE DO, THEY ARE NOT IN UNIFORM.

I MUST ADMIT THAT i HAVE TAKEN A LIKING TO JUAN GUAIDO. HE IS VERY BRAVE. HE IS YOUNG AND I BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE SAYS HE WANTS VENEZUELA TO BE FOR VENEZUELANS. VENEZUELA IS SITTING ON THE SECOND LARGEST OIL RESERVES ON OUR PLANET. HOPEFULLY WE WILL SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENCY DWINDLE AS SOLAR, WIND AND HYDRO ELECTRIC ENERGY PRODUCTION INCREASES. THE CONSUMPTION OF FOSSIL FUELS AND THE POLLUTION CREATED BY FOSSIL FUELS IS POISONING OURSELVES, OUR PLANET, AND THE BALANCE OF NATURE. (please watch NETFLIX “OUR PLANET”) IF YOU WANT A REAL EYE OPENER. I WAS SHOCKED AND I DO NOT SHOCK EASILY! HOWEVER, WE AND MOST OF THE WORLD IS NOW ALMOST TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON FOSSIL FUELS. WE CAN’T WAIT UNTIL WE USE UP ALL THE FOSSIL FUEL RESERVES TO CHANGE. WHY ? BECAUSE OUR PLANET IS CONSTANTLY PERCOLATING OIL DEEP BELOW THE SURFACE OF OUR PLANET. GEOLOGISTS CONFIRM THIS AND SO DOES COMMON SENSE. DESERTED OILS WELLS ABANDONED YEARS AGO SOMETIMES FILL UP AGAIN YEARS LATER. HOPEFULLY WE WILL ALL WAKE UP AND DEMAND DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENT MORE NATURAL CLEAN ENERGY ALTERNATIVES. EVEN IF WE CAN DO THIS, WE WILL STILL NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FOSSIL FUELS FOR THE SHORT TERM.

NICOLAS MADURO IS A DICTATOR. HE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THE VERY LIMITED LONGEVITY THAT MANY DICTATORS HAVE NOT ENJOYED.

I BELIEVE THAT JUAN GUAIDO WOULD USE THE OIL RESERVES IN A POSITIVE WAY AND WITH THAT KIND OF WEALTH, HE COULD USE THOSE ASSETS TO SUBSTANTIALLY RAISE THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE VENEZUELAN CITIZENS. ” BUT HE NEEDS TO TELL IT TO HIS PEOPLE !!! THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBORS WITH THE WEALTH OF THAT RESOURCE !

THE RUSSIANS, CHINESE AND IRAN ALL WANT AND NEED OIL. SO THE VENEZUELANS WITH A GOOD LEADER, CAN SELL THEIR OIL TO WHOEVER THEY WANT. THEY CAN USE THEIR ASSET TO FEED THE POOR, HEAL THE SICK AND EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN.

RUSSIA WANTS A FOOTHOLD IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. THAT IS CLEAR. THEY ALSO WANT CONTROL OF THE OIL. THE UNITED STATES HAS SOME FAILURES WHEN IT COMES TO “NATION BUILDING”. MAYBE NOW WE CAN DO BETTER. RUSSIA ALREADY HAS A MILITARY PRESENCE IN VENEZUELA. IF WE HAVE NOT ALREADY, WE BETTER GET SOME USN SEALS OR BLACKWATER PEOPLE DOWN THERE TO BE JUAN GUAIDOS’ BODYGUARDS. I SUSPECT JUAN GUAIDO IS ON THIN ICE RIGHT NOW AND IF WE HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, WE NEED TO GET SOME OF OUR BEST PEOPLE DOWN THERE. IF WE DON’T, I FEAR HE IS A “DEAD MAN WALKING”.
