The economic sanctions against Venezuela were super sneaky!
The first economic sanctions occurred in Aug 2017 - https://www.wlrn.org/news/2017-08-25/u-s-imposes-first-economic-sanctions-against-venezuela
But these were no ordinary sanctions! These sanctions travelled back in time to 2011 to cause Venezuela to starve way back then! https://www.cnn.com/2011/12/13/world/americas/venezuela-food-shortages/index.html
Even though oil prices were at some of the highest in recorded history, Venezuela was still starving, which is impossible! https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart
Then The CIA hacked Venezuela's currency printer, increased their money supply by 1,000,000%, causing the world's highest hyperinflation. http://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/rngs/VENEZUELA-ECONOMY/010040800HY/index.html
