Upon swearing in for another six-year term, @NicolasMaduro gives a shout out all his counterparts from Cuba, Boliva, Nigaurga, El Salvador and South Ossetia who made the trip to Caracas for the ceremony.
Don’t forget Abkhazia!

I've heard that Abkhazia & South Ossetia can be useful jurisdictions for money-laundering Speaking of which, the PM of St Kitts & Nevis was also on hand

Narnia, Wakanda and Asgard.

Venezuela IS Wakanda. The sequel to Black Panther should show what happens when a country like that joins the global economy — basically a tutorial on Dutch Disease, or as @LisaMargonelli calls it, Caracas Cough

Who could possibly forget Abkhazia? Clue: it rhymes with 'amnesia'.

Gunson, why does Bolivia acknowledge Venezuela? They don't get $ from the Vens, or much out of the deal. Because Morales keeping his own opponents at home at bay? Because as long as Venezuela is focus of attention Morales is in the clear?

I think for various reasons. Evo bought the whole 'Bolivarian' package from the outset and has applied it much more successfully so far. But perhaps the biggest single reason is that he follows the Cuban line.

Speaks like a Boliviarian, acts like Xi Jinping?
