* " It almost makes me sick the way the Guardian gloats about the misfortunate of a country effectively under full scale economic warfare by the US and allies and a terrible drought. Instead of offering help to tens of millions in need we gloat and laugh at their misfortune. No wonder the global south hates the Western world. "

* Behind the White House’s Sanctions Against Venezuela

" The main opposition group, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD), issued a statement that did not support the sanctions: “Venezuela is not a threat to anyone,” it said in response to the White House’s absurd claim that Venezuela posed an “extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. And then there is the problem of Washington’s isolation in the hemisphere, which has certainly increased with this latest move."

Absurd!

Yea, they really hate the "gringo's" until they need food or money. I say to them, too bad honey.
If they run low on toilet paper they should use the Bolivar's for toilet paper. Viva la Revolution! Viva Fidel, Viva Chavez! Viva Che! Viva BS.

So your "gotcha" moment is an opinion piece written by a Latin America butt hugger?

And, as usual, all USA, all the time.

* Economic war is not pretty Or "How Not to Win Friends in Latin America"

Yup ! That Cuban cow was milked well during the "Sanctions".
* Great cheap vacations and R.O.I.

** Venezuela Vacation Spots: Margarita island is the best for party, surf, beach and cheap shopping-all together. Hurry-up-winter !

Let's see...Venezuela screws up their own country with a failed socialism experiment and the Mr."I always has the U.S. on my mind" Canadian wants the U.S. to fix it....

how about letting Trudy fix it?

The economic climate is so bad in Venezuela today that people are eating cats, dogs and pigeons.
The Panama Post reported, via Townhall:

Ramón Muchacho, Mayor of Chacao in Caracas, said the streets of the capital of Venezuela are filled with people killing animals for food.

Through Twitter, Muchacho reported that in Venezuela, it is a “painful reality” that people “hunt cats, dogs and pigeons” to ease their hunger.

People are also reportedly gathering vegetables from the ground and trash to eat as well.

The crisis in Venezuela is worsening everyday due in part to shortages reaching 70 percent. This to go along with the world’s highest level of inflation.

The population’s desperation has begun to show, with looting and robberies for food increasing all the time. This Sunday, May 1, six Venezuelan military officials were arrested for stealing goats to ease their hunger, as there was no food at the Fort Manaure military base.

The week before, various regions of the country saw widespread looting of shopping malls, pharmacies, supermarkets and food trucks, all while people chanted “we are hungry.”

I'd like just one, principled "journalist" to ask Bernie Sanders "What went wrong in Venezuela https://t.co/WSbj4g9Uuo @realDonaldTrump

There is NO reason, (but evil greed & corruption), for a country that is so rich in natural resources, for people to go hungry!
And that includes Mexico.

* No problem in capitalists havens like Salvador, Honduras or Haití?


* Venezuela has been a disaster since they found oil. Best thing they

can do is hand over the country to be managed by the US.


* Fact, that the countries with the highest standards of living in the

world are all social democratic countries.
