Wow after years and years of attacking Venezuela. Sanctions from hell, trying to install a puppet president and lots of money tossed at a small group of individuals within Venezuela. The USA cries for oil and lifts sanctions…

Hey buddy! Yea you, my best friend from Venezuela…

Got any oil?

I think Russia owns the Venezuela oil?

Yup, they do…

CARACAS — As allies go, Venezuela is a relatively cheap one for Russia. But the potential returns on Moscow’s investment there could be priceless.

In exchange for modest loans and bailouts over the past decade, Russia now owns significant parts of at least five oil fields in Venezuela, which holds the world’s largest reserves, along with 30 years’ worth of future output from two Caribbean natural-gas fields.

“Priceless” indeed…
