1. Pathetic dirtbags. Spreading propaganda down to the wire.

I don't know if Pompeo is deliberately throwing propaganda or if he really is that stupid.

Venezuela made agreements long before Chavez was elected to supply oil to poor countries in the region at discounted prices. LONG ago:

Mexico and Venezuela renew San Jose Accord
Aug 03, 2004 02:00 AM
Mexico and Venezuela renewed the San Jose Accord whereby the two oil producing nations supply a total of 160,000 bpd of crude to 11 Central American and Caribbean nations at discount prices.
The document was signed simultaneously in Mexico and Venezuela by Presidents Vicente Fox and Hugo Chavez, according to a joint communique.

The San Jose Accord came into existence on Aug. 3, 1980, and it has never been suspended. The countries that benefit from the special crude prices are Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic, the communique noted.
The pact also establishes "a cooperation mechanism to promote the economic and social development of the beneficiary nations."

The cooperation accord finances social-economic development projects in the participating nations, as well as trade of goods and services by Mexican and Venezuelan firms.
Mexico and Venezuela each provide half of the total 160,000 bpd of the crude sold at discount prices.

At some time, Chavez was elected and brought Cuba on board.

How many times did some schmuck in the US bellow that Venezuela was sending "give-away shipments" to other countries back then? Not so many times...
