Wow....
On March 30, 2020, at 00:45, the Coast Guard «Naiguatá» (GC-23), of the Bolivarian Navy, being in maritime patrol tasks of our territorial sea, to the northwest of La Tortuga Island; it was boarded (collided) by the passenger ship «Resolute», (122 meters long and 8300 tons of displacement), of Portuguese flag, at the time it was undergoing a maritime traffic control procedure, which caused damage of great magnitude and caused the anxiety of the aforementioned coastguard.

The action of the ship «Resolute» is considered cowardly and criminal, since it did not attend to the rescue of the crew, in breach of the international regulations that regulate the rescue of life at sea. This ship is currently in the port of Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, where it docked in the morning of today.

Our immediate search and rescue work, together with the professional and courageous performance of our personnel, allowed the full rescue of the crew. The Venezuelan State undertakes the corresponding legal actions.

So you are complaining that the 30 crewmembers on board did not assist by bringing on board the (presumably) armed men who were just trying to illegally capture it in international waters?

I wouldn't have rendered immediate aid either, as it is VERY likely that some of the swimmers would have remained armed. Hang around and wait for another rescue boat to show up just to ensure no deaths.

And then this disaster at the end:
Chávez lives!… The Homeland continues!
Independence and Socialist Homeland! ... We will live and win!
Always loyal!… Traitors never!
I used to thing such exaggerations were the place of fiction... No socialism really does expand propaganda that much. Image if Trump wrote something like "The Right Forever! Republicanism defeats all! Death to Liberals!" at the end of one of his official letters. Thats how vulgar that language is and it is on government documents. Oof.

I presume that last part at the end was to help him not be executed for failing in his mission and losing his ship as well.

This was truly funny. It reads like something out of the Onion, but it really happened.

I propose the Resolute be designated a Wolverine Class cruise ship.

Drug kingpin picked to head Venezuela’s oil industry or lack there of.

Venezuela with largest proven oil reserves in the world, is being sent 5 tankers of gasoline from all the way from Iran no less to help with their dire gasoline shortage.

No no no. Not Green energy. Not what AOC and Greta want.

Just 10 years ago they were the number one foreign buyer of F150 pick up trucks.

Lack of fuel may create famine, no fuel to sow crops.
A group of consultants from the Independent Republic of CHAZ, located within the city limits of Seattle, offered to travel to Venezuela and assist the country with fuel generation, asking for payment only in non-GMO, soy-based, veggie-burgers. That is, until they learned that by "fuel" Venezuelan authorities meant fossil fuels, as in oil. The consultancy group have rescinded their offer and the consultants have resumed their places along the territorial borders of CHAZ, asking Seattle passers-by for handouts of any kind of vegetarian, non_GMO, non-fried food...

Last drilling rig in Venezuela shut down in August.

I saw where 5 American oil executives were lured to Venezuela for a meeting and instead were arrested. Reports that one may have Covid in the jail they are being held in.
