This is insane. There could be Middle East drug traffickers in Venezuela along side nuclear capacity Russian jets.
Russia is a global menace to facilitiate such idiocy.
Oh, this is precious. How long has this disaster been going on?
His family immigrated, his immediate family (mom and dad), from the Middle East. He is a Ba'athist.
Maduro has to go and El Aissami needs to be arrested. There are already warrants for him. The men holding Venezuela hostage find Russia's protection agreeable.
Desperate men can be very stupid. Russia is a problem. By assisting these men they are attempting to build a military base in the Western Hemisphere. However, when it comes to the drug trade and trafficking Russia is looking the other way. Besides illicit drugs serve Russia's purpose when it can facilitate problems within Western countries.
What a mess.

...Informants told intelligence agents (click here) that Mr. El Aissami’s father was involved in a plan to train Hezbollah members in Venezuela, “with the aim of expanding intelligence networks throughout Latin America and at the same time working in drug trafficking,” the documents say.
Mr. El Aissami helped the plan along, the dossier adds, by using his authority over residency permits to issue official documents to Hezbollah militants, enabling them to stay in the country.
Whether Hezbollah ever set up its intelligence network or drug routes in Venezuela is not addressed in the dossier. But it does assert that Hezbollah militants established themselves in the country with Mr. El Aissami’s help.
Mr. El Aissami acted as a facilitator to the underworld in other ways as well. The documents say that his brother, Feraz, went into business with Venezuela’s most notorious drug lord, Walid Makled, and held nearly $45 million in Swiss bank accounts....
Russia has destabilized regions around the world all in the name of controlling Daesh. It has no plans of ending the violence anytime soon. War is good business for Russia.
This is what happens when Putin's puppet is in the White House.

Russian and Syrian forces (click here) have stepped up air raids and shelling on rebel-held areas of northwestern Syria, the heaviest assault in the area since it was declared a demilitarised zone last year.
Villages and towns in northern Hama province and southern Idlib that were targeted overnight on Wednesday are part of a "safe zone", agreed in September between Russia and Turkey, as part of a deal that averted a major offensive on the area.
Schools and residential areas have been hit, Panos Moumtzis, the UN regional humanitarian coordinator, told Al Jazeera.
"There have been a number of casualties that have taken place in many locations: in health facilities, in schools, in residential areas," he said, adding about 250,000 people had been displaced

FARC is reconstituting. There is some kind of war tribunal in Columbia. Recently, two well known ex-commanders of FARC, Ivan Marquez and El Paisa didn't show up for the tribunal hearings. (click here). Yep. I doubt if they ever show up again.

...This unification project (click here) began to take shape almost a year after the signing of a historic peace agreement between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – FARC).
Duarte’s initial plan was to extend the influence of the ex-FARC Eastern Bloc in the south of the country and aimed to gather between 6,000 and 8,000 men in 2019....
