Reply to comment by reyxe in The Venezuelan opposition on Friday dissolved the "interim government" led by Juan Guaido, once the popular and internationally recognized face of the drive to oust leftist leader Nicolas Maduro by DoremusJessup

We dont know the whole story down there. The US has done many shady things in south america and always hopes to put puppet governments down there to get cheaper resources. To me basically Chaves was a bad manager who started to spend a lot on social programs and didnt know how to manage the country well. He pretty much decided that Venezuela's oil was for Venezuela benefit and the US was not having that. Its more complex ofcourse but like i said, the US has done shady things down there and many already known. Even Fidel Castro was very good friends with Mandela because he approved what he intended for Cuba. If socialism is so bad then let them have it and let them fail on their own. It be easier to pick up the pieces of a broken country than close the doors for them to progress. Every country in the UN votes to lift sanctions except the US and Israel.

Let them fail. Lets see socialism fail and show the US how right they are.

You don't know the whole story so you go and spread propaganda.

Chávez caused this because he implemented the worst socialist policies, price and exchange controls, that along with taking over businesses and destroying them. USA did nothing to us until sanctions at 2017 and we were a dead horse already, in fact, I would say Sanctions caused the resurgence we are seeing today.

Don't preface your post with "oh we don't know the whole picture" if you won't ask for information but post a shit take about the situation, it's disrespectful to absolutely everyone here.

My whole point was let them fail on their own if socialism is so bad lets see it implode itself.

That's what happened though?

2002 coup was unrelated to USA. By the time Sanctions hit on 2017 we collapsed so bad Chávez even died.

There was this reporter and i been trying to find his report who wanted to know from venezuela and this is where i read it but honestly cant find it or the name. But he went in thinking the same but he gave more details on why he changed his mind. Like i said, we get things here that may not be the whole or even true at all. Media here plays along with the government. Things done to cuba im sure are done with venezuela. I just think to leave them be, let them show the world how socialism is bad. Like i said it be easier to pick up the pieces from a broken or even dead country.

Socialism caused the mess. You just fail to see it because you don't want to.
