    Bonaire, Aruba and Curacao being squeezed by Venezuala!

    It seems that Venezuela is blockading the ABC Islands. They are claiming that the Dutch are harboring smugglers and refuse to stop. They are refusing to allow foods and fuel to be delivered. Since these islands are dependent on Venezuela, I wonder how long this will go on. And, how it will...
