"warn Canadian mining companies"??   Is this a joke?   Anyone who remembers Crystallex doesn't need any warning.   There is no serious money coming into the country anytime soon.   Even the Chinese are learning the hard way.

Soft pressure has not worked in Venezuela for 15 years.   It only makes us feel like we're doing something.  The thugs in government & military are only going down fighting, with force if needed.   The alternative for them is jail for the $billions they have stolen.
