    1. That doesn’t address the point about Cuba specifically.

    2. It is in question what’s actually going on with that story. See: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10668800 Is there a source on the Venezuelan government explicitly approving it to normalize relations with israel? I’d think there’d be some kind of statement for a thing like that if the goal was to have ties.

    I mean, the bloomberg source says:

    Venezuela is sending its first crude oil cargo to Israel in years as the Latin American country’s exports open up following the capture of its president Nicolas Maduro.

    The cargo is being transported to Bazan Group, the Mediterranean country’s top crude processor, people with knowledge of the deal said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

    Why would they be all cagey about it if they’re capitulating?
