The U.S. and other nations urge verifiable election results as the opposition vows to "not rest until the will of the people of Venezuela is respected.”
My guy, the reason they aren’t rich is because of US embargoes on their oil. The type of oil they produce is dirty and extremely expensive to refine, The US is the closest trading partner with refining capabilities that their crude oil requires.
Yeah. And the embargoes are only because it’s hard to refine and dirty? Or because Maduro is a greedy asshole dictator? Do you know how embargoes work?
My guy you said Venezuela is poor because Maduro is lining his pockets, while that is a falsehood, Venezuela is poor because of US sanctions and the fact that they operate a single resource economy extremely reliant on the price of Oil.
So, you’re saying the sanctions are just there because whatever, not because Maduro is a dictator who prefers to keep power and money over Venezuelan welfare and international affairs?
Why do you think the sanctions are there exactly? For shits and giggles?
The sanctions are a response to Maduro being a selfish dictator. Is it really that hard to see the connection?
Why are you defending him? Are you a Venezuelan government employee or something?
I am being critical because the USA, which has supported multiple dictators in the global south that have done far worse than Maduro, not excusing his actions, just pointing out the fact that the country is suffering under sanctions and a dictator. While the USA would be turning a blind eye if Maduro was a puppet of the United States.
Look, the US is bad, no doubt about it, but Maduro is a dictator who keeps his country fucked up. Don’t blame it on the US, he is responsible for getting the sanctions and keeping the sanctions. Those sanctions aren’t just by the US, many countries adhere them because Maduro is a dangerous asshole.
The sanctions were in place before him, and they will remain in place as long as he doesn’t do anything America says. If the Venezuelan regime was a good little lapdog with a right wing fascist who sold his nation’s resources for pennies to American corporations instead of a red fascist the embargoes wouldn’t exist and everyone being honest can admit that.
