Venezuela still has the largest known oil reserves on the planet!

Yet they live in poverty - except for a tiny elite... According to a woman from Venezuela I met in Geneva, there were troops from Cuba, Russia and Iran in Venezuela to support the regime. That makes perfect sense - if Venezuela started selling oil again, the price of oil would drop like a rock! None of the producer countries want to see more production. Chances are that Chavez, then Maduro, were installed just to prevent Venezuela from producing. They didn't just sabotage their production because they are stupid, they did it entirely intentionally!
