Venezuela keeps losing tankers to legal submarines. Fire one sanction. Fire two. Target sunk.

Maduro will keep sending whatever he can still produce to Cuba.

The Venezuelans are collateral damage now. This is clearly a US vs Russia fight. Putin has shown he won't back down. Will Trump?
It's an interesting contrast in tactics. Putin and the Left still have powerful propaganda. A lot of Western thought leaders are reflexively sympathetic. Putin is thus head hunting. The US by contrast is delivering body blows to weakest point of socialism: the economy.

Selling indulgences to Gaia

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/m…
"Indulgences became increasingly popular in the 21st century as a reward for signaling virtue, hugging rough trees, and going on pilgrimage to environmental summits; for putting on processions and marches; associations demanded that their meetings be rewarded with indulgences.."
"Good deeds included tax donations of money for a good cause, and money thus raised was used for many righteous causes, like building abortion clinics and sanctuary cities."

Bernie Sanders never evolved.
PROFESSOR CHALLENGER: 'Upon the domestic habits of the pterodactyl we can throw a flood of light. I can exhibit a picture ..'
DR. ILLINGWORTH: 'No picture could convince us of anything.'
CHALLENGER: 'You would require to see the thing itself? '
ILLINGWORTH: 'Beyond a doubt.
'Come, then, pretty, pretty!' in a coaxing voice. An instant later, with a scratching, rattling sound, a most horrible and loathsome creature appeared. Even the fall of the Duke of Durham into the orchestra, at this moment, could not distract the attention of the audience.

The Iran nuclear deals seems to have represented a fundamental strategic choice which the Obama administration made and which Trump has now rejected without either really explaining why.
The lack of public debate is reflected in the non-ratification of Obama's Iranian nuclear deal and the lack of Congressional consensus behind Trump's actions toward Iran.
Maybe this is because both the Dems and Republicans don't want to draw attention to the withdrawal from Iraq or entering Iraq in the first place, which seems to have destabilized the Arabs and given Iran and Turkey their big chance.

FRIDAY MORNING IN ENERGY: And I’d like to talk energy, but really, I’ve got to talk trade first after we’ve got new tariffs coming, a lot of research notes, and very nervous markets… #OOTT #tradewar #China #trade
… as always you can follow our coverage here on Reuters.com. Our lead story right now is, the US escalated the trade war with more tariffs after the Chinese made major changes in the agreement that blew everything up earlier in the week.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Trump has said he’s in no rush to complete the deal. So we’ve got that going for us. #trade #china Ttradewar

Maduro's internet blackout stifles news of #Venezuela crisis
cpj.org/blog/2019/03/m…
One of the world's biggest news stories on March 4 was the daring return to #Venezuela of opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president @jguaido. But most Venezuelans were unable to follow his homecoming. cpj.org/blog/2019/03/m…
