Is there a coup in Venezuela or Bolivia?

I heard these rumours from two sources.
Can't find anything in the news, anyone knows?

And more importantly how could this affect oil prices?

 

US ambassador...in bolivia and venezuela given the boot and with strong words from the little red man

 

You've got it backwards. The lower crude goes, the more unrest there is likely to be.

 

Russia sends warplanes on Venezuela training mission:

I got worried when I saw the Tu-160 Blackjack at the top of the first link.

 

Another perceptive comment nazz.

 

Man. Game on for a new cold war.

 

Chavez does not want it under $100...they run the state oil so inefficiently any decrease gets his panties in a bunch....

watch out for the unrest Cuba will start experiencing soon..at over $4 billion in damages ( perhaps i heard it wrong ) and a kink in tourism....oh boy....watttttttttttttttttttttch out

 

And Chavez isn't going to be as quick with a 4bil check helping his Cuban camarada as he would a couple of months back.

You mentioned last week that Ike could be impetous to revolución.

 

Thanks Pabst........Russia ought to be the next "domino" in the sequence. We'll see.
