Venezuela To Impose Mandatory Visas on Americans

[JohnAdams]

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Saturday his government had detained U.S. citizens, including a pilot, on suspicion of espionage, in a move likely to strain already tense relations between Washington and Caracas.

Maduro also said his government would order a reduction in the number of U.S. embassy staff in Caracas and prohibit some U.S. officials from entering Venezuela in retaliation for a similar U.S. measure last year. Venezuela would also require U.S. citizens to obtain visas before visiting, he told a rally.

Well, of course, he doesn't have the same charisma Chavez did, but it seems like he can control the situation. I wonder will he stop shipping oil to the US? Will he break all the relations?

Smart moves, good policy.

Isolated abroad, increasingly unpopular in your own neighborhood, angry citizens with no toilet paper, plummeting oil prices.....only one thing to do here.

Blame America.

I think we owe it to our military to launch an invasion and occupation of Ven, to say thank you for all the shit they had to eat in West Asia.

I understand why Russia, China, Egypt, Germany etc disrespect us. Now we are being disrespected by countries like Venezuela? Obama is very different than Bill Clinton. Bill is a celebrity anywhere he goes and well respected.
