Typically, President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, has alerted his military to prepare for a war with the United States, according to Newsweek<\/a> after President Trump’s administration has banned lending money to Venezuelan government borrowers and the state-owned oil company and passed sanctions against public officials;<\/p>\n

“We have been shamelessly threatened by the most criminal empire that ever existed and we have the obligation to prepare ourselves to guarantee peace,” said Maduro, who wore a green uniform and a military hat as he spoke with his army top brass during a military exercise involving tanks and missiles. “We need to have rifles, missiles and well-oiled tanks at the ready….to defend every inch of the territory if needs be,” he added. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a page from the Hugo Chavez book, blaming everything bad about the country’s descent into financial ruin on the United States – it couldn’t be communism that is the reason for Venezuela’s soaring inflation and mismanagement of resources.<\/p>\n

The Russians, of course, are doing their level best to interfere;<\/p>\n

Russia has defended Maduro in recent months, going so far as to accuse Trump of preparing for an invasion of Caracas. “We are strongly against unilateral sanctions against sovereign states,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in August. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
