US Imposes New Sanctions on Venezuela

      So,  now a new round of sanctions against Venezuela's oil industry.  The US announced more sanctions against the Maduro government.  As the illegal dictator struggles to maintain his lofty position, the US is squeezing his one source of foreign exchange- the country's oil.   Despite earlier sanctions, these additional moves will again restrict the use of foreign exchange.  When Maduro tried to remove 1.5 billion dollars of the gold reserves held in London, they were frozen and put under control of an federal court.   Other assets were also restricted or denied access to foreign accounts.   While this puts pressure on the population, it serves notice that Maduro must step aside as the leader of the government.
      He is a   hard head advised by idiots who want nothing more than to preserve their own privilege.  Sound familiar?   The military support is starting to fracture:  the military attache' in Washington, D.C., at the Embassy of Venezuela has declared his support of the new leader of the appointed government. Mr. Guaido.  Col.  Silva says he no longer can support this illegal president who was sworn in 2 weeks ago.   More than 3 million Venezuelans have fled the country creating a vast refugee problem throughout the Americas.  All countries have been affected.  The 'LIMA' group of countries have called for new elections in the capitol by February 8.   We'll see what happens.
