Xiden is desperate to temporarily bring aztec invasion numbers down, so
he made a deal with the Venezuelan dictator - Allow us to fly some of
your invading countrymen back, and be a little bit nicer to the
opposition party, and we'll let the oil sanctions lapse.

But the crafty Venezuelans broke the agreement before it started and
jailed opposition leaders and banned them from even running for election
[much like the Bolsheviks are doing, and have been doing here, for
years] They must have figured, hey, they are trying to jail and ban
their opposition, so who are they to tell us we can't do the same with
ours ?
So the Bolsheviks threatened to maintain the sanctions, and the
Venezuelans said fine, then we won't accept any more of our invaders
from you !

Cannot make this shit up, the most powerful country in their world being
blackmailed by a tinpot banana republic, and there is apparently nothing
we can do.

Venezuela threatens to CANCEL crucial deportation flights if Biden
reimposes oil sanctions - sparking fears border crossings could soar
further amid growing migrant crisis

Venezuela has threatened to ban deportation flights from the US in
response to the White House's decision to reimpose oil and gas sanctions
on the bankrupt socialist nation.

The Biden administration began deporting Venezuelans on October 18 for
the first time in years after the Nicolas Maduro regime made a secret
deal with the US that saw the dictator pledge to allow free elections
next year in exchange for sanctions relief.

The restarting of deportations saw illegal border crossings by
Venezuelans drop as much as 74 percent in October. It came at a crucial
time, as the number of Venezuelans crossing the US-Mexico border had
reached a record high and replaced Mexicans as the largest nationality
appearing at the border in September, 2023.

However, Maduro broke the agreement with the White House as soon as it
was signed in Barbados, quickly moving to jail aides of his main
political opponent Maria Corina Machado, who he has now barred from
running in next year's presidential elections.

Biden officials had said they would reimpose sanctions if Maduro did not
follow the agreement, and on Monday Bloomberg reported the White House
will allow the six-month sanctions suspension to expire in April.

Venezuela's vice president Delcy Rodriguez wrote on X: 'Venezuela
rejects the rude and improper blackmail and ultimatum expressed by the
US government.

'If they take the step to intensify economic aggression against
Venezuela, as of February 13 repatriating flights of Venezuelan migrants
from the US will be revoked.'

This sub-human piece of garbage, Maduro, is possibly even worse
than Chavez.

These creatures seem like something that came out of Woody Allen's
"Bananas", but with an evil twist.

You're right, cannot make this shit up.
