Remember those fourteen families who grew $28 billion richer during the war? Meet the other side of that same equation. $255 billion has evaporated from the pockets of the planet’s wealthiest individuals. Markets do not lie—they simply present the bill to everyone.
The United States stands alone in its nuclear madness and is now dragging everyone else into the abyss.

The acute phase of confrontation has began in January, when the current president of the country, Nicolas Maduro, refused to comply with the demands of the opposition, which constitutes a majority in the National Assembly, about resigning and went for a second presidential term. The state leader announced his intention to continue to fulfill his duties until 2025.
