Machado Gave Away Her Nobel Peace Medal To Krasnov For Nothing [View all]

She is a great woman, but hoping that giving her medal to Krasnov would change, would win him over, was naive.

Reporters asked Krasnov if Machado should be installed as president of Venezuela since it's estimated she beat Maduro with 80% of the vote.

Krasnov's reply, after he took the award, was that Machado doesn't have the support within or the respect of the country.

Krasnov has been supporting Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's VP, or in other words, a continuation of the corrupt administration. The only difference between Maduro and Rodriguez is that Rodriguez is willing to sell its heavy crude at cheap prices to the US which has refineries along the coast set up to refine heavy crude. Eventually the Venezuelan heavy crude will replace the heavy crude that the US is getting from Canada.

No wonder Big Oil is keeping gasoline prices low for Krasnov.
