US 'Democracy' Auctioning Venezuela's Assets for 'Debts'

A US court in Delaware has deemed it perfectly normal to order the liquidation of a sovereign nation's most valuable foreign asset, Citgo, to satisfy debts. Venezuela, of course, calls it a 'US-ordered forced sale' and points out the 'legal' absurdity—this ruling ignores the Venezuelan government's legitimate authority and comes after years of crippling US sanctions. (Funny how 'rule of law' only
