(Reuters) - Italian airline Alitalia has canceled service to Venezuela as of June 2 due to delays in repatriating revenue under the country's 11-year-old currency control system, two sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Yet another airline refuses to fly to Venezuela due to the government's inability to pay their debts. This shit is getting serious.

1. They need to pay their damn bills. How can a country with some of the most natural wealth

on the continent be so brutally mismanaged and corrupt?

2. I'd like to hear from our chavista friends on that one. n/t

3. It's a RW/USA/CIA plot, haven't y'all figured that out by now?

The CIA has told the Venezuelan govt to not pay their debt so that the Chavista's on this board can claim a conspiracy by the "dirty facists" to overthrow the Maduro govt.

4. I shouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

You won't ever hear a word, either, each time it is reported that the Cuban - seeded GNB brutalizes and kills students, including minors, or when the dissatisfaction with the regime spreads to the Chavista neighborhoods. Some truths are just too inconvenient.

I suspect if there is regime change, it will be from the left, at least initially, and it will be amusing to see how that gets spun...

5. Lufthanza too today, and I believe we'll be hearing about some others soon n/t
