They are sitting on the worlds largest known petrolium deposit but their system is so broken that they can not touch it. They can not refine the crude if they manage to pump it out of the ground. Their refineries are broken. From Reuters:
Tankers carrying Iranian fuel begin entering Venezuelan waters
The first of a group of three tankers carrying Iranian fuel for gasoline-starved Venezuela entered the waters of the South American nation on Monday, according to Refinitiv Eikon data, in the most recent sign of the countries’ expanding trade.
The two OPEC members have increased cooperation this year by exchanging crude, fuel, food, equipment for refineries and other industrial goods. Many details about the transactions are not available.
Of course Iran is sending their oil to Venezuela. Iran's primary business is terrorism and political upheval. They are eyeing the market here. Not good. These are purely evil people.
Venezuela used to be the shining star of South America - they used to export food. They used to be the richest nation in South America. Now, they are the poorest and have to beg for food from other socialist shitholes. The cause of this downfall? 30 years of socialist leadership. Works every single time. Show me a socialist paradise. Just one.
