I call him “Pope Che”.
The Russians will fly Maduro, along with the gold to Cuba. Russian plane will depart Cuba with some of the gold gifted to them by Maduro.
“some of the gold gifted to them by Maduro.”
The majority will go to China. The Boss gets paid...
In fact 20 tons of gold is a pocket change comparing to that Venezuela owes to the Russian big oil and nothing at all comparing to VZ debt to China.
Why would the Russians let him keep it?
How much is 15 tons of gold worth anyway?
Around $0,7 billion.
This is about .05% of Venezuela’s GDP. Not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things on an international level.
China wants/needs all it can get.
Russia does what it’s told by China.
Like the Hessians that worked for the British.
It is there to take Maduro’s prized art collection of paint-by-numbers on black velvet to safety.
They have proven oil trserves of nearly 100 billion barrels. Methinks that they can get a loan to restart extraction in earnest.

Why? I don’t think so.
Maybe it brought in 200 Russian hookers to keep Maduro’s senior military officers happy.
Shoot it out of the sky! A sentence the Venezuelans will applaud
There is a way remaining to us to put it before readers: Bump To The Top!
Drudge now has a link to a story about the gold, too. Maybe it’ll be taken more seriously here today.
Yeah,70%
China is about ten times as rich as Russia.
No, I can’t prove that Russia’s military is doing China’s bidding In Venez or Syria or elsewhere.
But I can suspect it most reasonably.
