Oil money. Oil deals along with grain and aid from Russia/China are the only reason why Maduro survives.

The Venezuelan people are poor and starving, Maduro, his party and his cronies are not. Maduro is swimming in luxury while his people are suffering. Check out TeleSur from Caracas to get a glimpse of how Maduro and the elites live.
And in Honduras, who is Maduro’s (formerly Chavez’) panting lapdog? Manuel Zelaya, leader of the Libre Party of ultra-left wing socialists and communists. He and Salvador Nasralla were instrumental in organizing this caravan crap, and Mel is constantly in the streets agitation the masses to head for the US. It’s been assumed for a while that Mel was getting Venezuelan backing, now it comes to the front. Whether it is ultimately from the Russia, US or the Democrats, is still unclear. And who was frothing at the mouth trying to get Zelaya reinstated into the presidency after his 2009 ouster? Hillary Clinton, among other Democrats.
Hernandez is a pretty straight shooter so I have a great tendency to believe his story.
