To move. Than 2 weeks after a botched beachfront invasion on the shores of venezuela to a u. S. Mercenaries captured by a bit of will no terry forces have again publicly admitted they had the backing from the u. S. Meantime on wednesday a special remote hearing a United Nations Security Council was held over accusations that the u. S. Was behind that failed coup attempt but while the u. S. Continues to deny its support of the operation it did have some choice words for russia Rachel Blevins is joining us now to discuss the latest on this so rachel how did this hearing even come about so russia was actually become true calling for those hearing based on a letter that was submitted to the u.

The letter from the illegitimate mature regime that prompted todays meeting. As such letters always are a long winded compilation of fantastical accusations and demonstratable falsehoods unfortunately for the 2nd time in less than a month our russian colleagues have indulged their client regimes habit of blaming others for its choices so in addition to those allegations the us is also arguing the blame should be on russia for taking this letter as credible in the 1st place wow ok so then how has russia responded or have they what the Russian Deputy minister to the un argued that if this is a case where the u. S. Had no involvement whatsoever in this operation then why was it led by 2 american citizens who just happened to be targeting the same president the trouble ministration has been trying to overthrow for more than a year now to cause you know what he said because authorities claim that they have nothing to do with this league lead to believe them but for you to explain that according to the contract to american citizens where plenty to take hostages of legitimately hysteric resident to the us.

S. And he argued that these are 2 independent sovereign nations and that they should be able to have trade and legal agreements with each other no matter the sanctions they are facing from the u. S. Now venezuelas defense minister also revealed the countrys military plans to be ready and waiting to escort irans tankers as soon as they reach venezuelas exclusive Economic Zone and as we have been reporting venezuela has the Largest Oil Reserves in the world but due to the ongoing economic crisis that has been compounded by same joins from the u.
