They may have shit, but fans are not available, let alone electricity to power them.

#3  What does Venezuela get out of a trade with Haftar for its gold?

Gold is mutable, oil is liquid[sic].
Poss exchange for Libyan oil credits traded for IR oil shipped to VZ on IR tankers. When SHTF and IR facilities are destroyed early they will have a secondary source of both oil and transport.

According to experts, it is likely that the [Libyan] plane arrived in Caracas to transport gold from Venezuela, where the gold that is banned due to sanctions is transported and melted in Mali, Africa, and then reconfigured and resold.
Data from air navigation sites also showed that the same plane made a previous visit to Caracas on April 24th, and it is manufactured by "Sonnig International Private Jet", a secret company based in Fujairah in the UAE based. According to press reports, in recent years this company has turned into one of Haftar's arms suppliers in the eastern Libyan region.
