So funny! Mexico expects King Raul to turn Maduro away from repression

Hey, how about a loan?

From our Make ’em Laugh Bureau

This could be the funniest news story of the month.

Get this: Mexico is trying to sweet talk King Raul into convincing Nicolas Maduro to ease up on his repression.

Ha!  Yeah… Sure…..and monkeys will then fly out of King Raul’s derriere….

And it gets even funnier.

The minute that Mexico’s foreign minister set foot in Castrogonia, King Raul’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez asks for a huge 26 million Euro increase on loans, and he gets it!

That’s $ 30,575, 870 US Dollars.  And it’s a “loan”… you know what that means to King Raul…. (poor Mexicans, they don’t seem to know)…

See, Mildred, this is what dealing with Obama can teach you.

Just ask for everything up front, before you start “negotiations,” and the more outrageous your demands are, the more likely it is that you’ll get what you want!

I love “negotiations”!

Exclusive: Mexico’s top diplomat visits Cuba to seek help on Venezuela crisis

Mexico’s foreign minister is in Havana hoping to persuade Cuba, one of Venezuela’s top allies, to help resolve the tense political situation in the beleaguered South American nation, according to a senior Mexican official briefed about the trip.

The minister, Luis Videgaray, has not gone empty-handed, according to the official and a document seen by Reuters, and has agreed with Havana’s request to expand a credit line with Mexico’s state-owned Bancomext bank from 30 million to 56 million euros as a gesture of goodwill. Cuba uses the credit line to pay for key imports.

“The foreign minister is going to say, ‘We want to solve the situation in Venezuela. How do we do that?'” the official said. “He’s going to see what the Cubans’ view is, and how we can soften or manage the transition in Venezuela and its impact on Cuba.”

Mexico may struggle to convince Cuba to join its effort. Venezuela is Cuba’s closest strategic and ideological ally, and has showered the island with billions of dollars of cheap oil and aid since the turn of the century.

Mexico, on the other hand, has flip-flopped in its relationship with Cuba, with former President Vicente Fox famously snubbing Fidel Castro at a summit, a move that pleased the United States but damaged Mexico’s regional influence…

… The purpose of the trip is also to assure Cuba that Mexico will step in to support the island nation if Venezuela collapses. The provision of Mexican oil is not officially on the table, but the official said he thought that could be offered in the future.

For Mexico, the best-case scenario for Videgaray’s trip would be that Cuba publicly recognizes that the situation in Venezuela is untenable, and releases a statement critical of the Maduro regime, urging some form of transition, the official said.

Whole story HERE … more laughs guaranteed ….

Ay, Papi…get me a “loan” too…

  1. Just one look at Mexico’s laughable foreign minister is all it takes to figure out what’s going on here and who’s in control of the situation. The word pathetic comes to mind. Well, so what else is new? Mexico has always, from the very beginning, played along with Castro, Inc. Lord, the disgust.

    And by the way, this sort of, uh, statesmanship is one reason Mexico, which could and should be in FAR better shape given its resources, remains stuck in its eternal quagmire, and why it continues to use the US as a way to get around its appalling dysfunction.
