Shameful how we are effectively killing Venezuelans by starvation because we don't like their president

Don't be so harsh on yourself. American Intelligence isn't friendly towards Americans themselves either. It's the super-rich against everyone else. Also, the jezzies control the Cuban and American Intelligence at the same time.

You are right, we the people have nothing to do with this

Their own government has nothing to do with it and their political choices have had no effect on the situation.

They are more like dumb children really, that's not racist at all.

Really? I'm curious what the reason is then. It seemed to me like the same old depose any south american that even thinks about doing socialism.

Because you haven't looked into it at all?

The government was full of corruption and they syphoned money out of the country.

They didn't bother investing in their oil industry, replaced all the experts with cronies and it collapsed.

The people producing food took money off the government to sell it within the country and then took even more money again to sell it abroad. That's why the markets emptied.

And because leftist governments in South America see law and order as right wing issue the non-corrupt people in government just let this happen rather than arresting the people stealing off their own country.

There is no famine in Venezuela. They have more than enough food to feed their people. But most of it is going on the black market and over the border.
