Question is whether this is an additional loan vs. part of the amount listed in the late 2013 agreement with goldman sachs.
President Madro is down on his knees and Venezuela and her precious oil (& gold) is now within grasp of the US (once a puppet regime is installed by the CIA). Why would the US allow this deal to go ahead and let the inevitable situation drag on any longer than it has to?
The US doesn't need or want Venezuela's heavy crude oil. Even if the US wanted the heavy crude oil, we don't have anywhere to store it. Besides, we have our hands full creating enemies in the Middle East. Venezuela was living on the Chinese credit card even before the drop in the price of oil. The Venezuelan government is likely to collapse before the end of the year. Then come debt negotiations. The Chinese are going to learn a hard lesson about loaning money to a Socialist South American government. And in the next few years, China will experience round two with their loans to Ecuador. Ecuador has already loaned out half their gold, borrowed a tremendous amount of money from the Chinese and Correa is trying to convince citizens to give their USDs to the government in exchange for a new Ecuadoran digital currency.
