EDITORIAL: Can the pariahs of the region make things any worse?

January 28, 2022

Not only is Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua on the USA’s perennial naughty list, they now have to get in bed with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a time when the US is looking to shoot the fade with Putin on the issue of the threats being made to the Ukraine.

Albeit, the conflict in the Ukraine has nothing to do with the USA. But as usual, they feel the need to meddle in people’s affairs as the world police.

The crisis in the Ukraine has to do with them failing to pay Russia money owed to Russian companies for extracting natural gas in the country. The issue gets more complicated because of course the Ukraine was a part of the former Soviet Union and the company mining for natural gas is a Russian company and sells the Ukraine back the same gas that it pumps out. To go even further, they use the Ukraine as a transport hub to transport oil and natural gas to Western Europe.

Of course, the Ukraine feels that they don’t owe Russia single penny and don’t want to pay. This has been going on for several years now or at least as far back as the late 1990’s when the Soviet Union collapsed. This is no secret that every year in the winter time the Ukraine fails to pay the bill and Russia either shuts off the gas for heating or they threaten the Ukraine, like the goon Putin is, to pay the bill.

The US media won’t tell you all of that because it is too much to distil in a 5 minute segment on CNN/FOX/MSNBC, plus they want you to get all on board with the war mongering that Putin is a monster that must be taken out at all cost.

I had a feeling that when US President Joe Biden won the presidency that war with the Ukraine and Russia was imminent. I mean, look at what they did to his son Hunter Biden and the scandal right before the 2020 US General Election. Oh, you forgot about that huh?

By hyping up the threat of Russian interference, Biden can go into the Ukraine, clean up whatever dirt his son left behind and get Putin all in the same sweep. Kind of conspiratorial and dirty, huh? This is America we are talking about; they have done these things in the past- lest we forget Iraq?

But, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela know how to make a bad situation worse, don’t they? It’s like they just don’t understand or don’t care that the world is bigger than their political elites think that it is. What a shame. Poor countries have to get mashed down because they just don’t know when to sit still.
