    I'm not so sure this much more than posturing to cover for Maduro deciding his palace guard might not be as reliable as he thought. Bring in what are essentially paid mercenaries is an old and familiar tactic in collapsing corrupt governments. Beyond that how much of that 80 tons of gold went back to Moscow?
