Venezuela’s Nobel Peace Prize profitable opposition chief has stated her nation has “has already been invaded”, when requested whether or not she would help a US invasion.
“We have the Russian agents, we have the Iranian agents. We have terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, operating freely in accordance with the regime.
“We now have the Colombian guerrilla, the drug cartels which have taken over 60% of our populations and never solely concerned in drug trafficking, however in human trafficking in networks of prostitution. This has turned Venezuela into the prison hub of the Americas.”
The 58-year-old engineer continued: “The place do these funds come from? Effectively, from drug trafficking, from the black market of oil, from arms trafficking, and from human trafficking. We have to lower these flows.”

Maria Machado speaks in Oslo
America has constructed up the most important army presence within the area in a long time and launched a collection of lethal strikes on boats it claims had been drug-smuggling within the Caribbean.
Ms Machado made her return to the general public eye within the early hours of Wednesday morning from the balcony of the Norwegian capital’s Grand Lodge, after covertly travelling to Oslo to obtain the Nobel Peace Prize.
She did not make it to Oslo in time to obtain the Nobel Peace Prize in particular person, after a rare day shrouded in uncertainty over her whereabouts.
It was accepted on her behalf by her daughter Ana Corina Sosa.
The opposition chief has devoted her prize partially to US President Donald Trump, who has stated he himself deserved the honour.
Ms Machado has aligned herself with hawks near Trump who argue that Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro has hyperlinks to prison gangs that pose a direct risk to US nationwide safety, regardless of doubts raised by the US intelligence group.
