ThunderBlade + 231 TB February 21, 2019 Starting Thursday evening, Venezuela is closing its border with Brazil, President Nicolas Maduro has announced. He added the same measure may apply to the border with Colombia, though he does not want to order it. The Venezuelan military was ordered to enforce the travel ban in airspace and on the sea until further notice, Maduro said during a televised address from a military headquarters. Speaking about possible cut of border travel with Colombia, Maduro said he didn’t want to take such a decision but was considering it. The restrictions come amid a tense stand-off over US attempts to deliver what Washington describes as humanitarian aid into Venezuela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So as I was reading this post a thought came to mind, post war Berlin, the people running to the western sides of the city to escape East Berlin. Will a wall be going up soon to trap the people in so they cannot get away. Oh the soap opera drama going on down there....lol. I do feel sorry for the people though, what they are going through with no food, water, electricity. But I also believe you reap what you sow..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now normally I would say that the drug trade would be worth a lot more money than food, but in this instance I would say the opposite is probably the case. So how do we get into the food smuggling trade and make easy money from that? (pssst......pssst.......hey you.....you lookin for some banana? Well, I just happen to know a guy.....) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
