Speaking in terms of realpolitik, it's in the best interest of the U.S. to interfere with and crush any attempt at a new economic system that can threaten its globalist hegemony. It has done so for decades now. The only fascists it supports are the ones who tow the line of U.S. foreign policy. If they don't tow the line, then they are enemies of the state.

My personal viewpoint is that Venezuela is going to continue to suffer so long as the usual suspects continue to control the UN. South America has an opportunity to become a new economic force that breaks from the neo-liberal mold, but it doesn't seem to be going in that direction. It doesn't matter how democratically an economic system is formed; if it goes against the ruling global powers, they will do everything in their power to subvert it, defame it, and pressure it to stop.

Starting with OBAMA, sanctions against Venezuela have caused extreme poverty there.
Venezuela is a Socialist Nation a/k/a Bolivarian Republic.
Maduro is elected in May 2018 with a 60% najority.
Does the USA have any right to cause poverty and chaos in Venezuela?

YES!
NO!
Other and please explain!

Oh please. That election was rigged. Putin wins 90% of the vote or more. Does that make Russia a democracy? These countries just have sham elections.

I said no...the US can't even get it's own **** together, they need to stop stumbling around like a drunk frat boy, messing up the rest of the world too.

If Venezuela needs saving, send the UN. America needs to sleep it off for a few decades.

This is the one area I wish the Canadian government would rub off on our officials. In America if you simply say maybe it isn't in our best interest to be meddling in all of these countries around the world you get labeled as an Isolationist. You don't ever see video of people half way around the world burning a Canadian flag or chanting death to Canadians, it isn't hard to imagine why that is.
 
If True we should not cause poverty to any Human Being no matter what country he is in But if we are fighting an enemy that may be different ...dont know enough about this situation
i am sure Obama has good reason to do what he did or did not do.. he does not just do something without doing research and knowing what the outcome would be

Valenzuela was failing before the sanctions. The sanctions were originally because of human rights abuses during anti government unrest due to a failing economy.

Oil income is the major source of foreign revenues for Venezuela. If used wisely to invest in education, infrastructure, exploration for other resources, new industry and so on, then oil is about the future for the people of Venezuela.

I don't see any issue with the rest of the world claiming support for Guaido. My issue is with funneling weapons, mobilizing the military, or imposing sanctions on these countries. How many failures will it take before we understand that every time we get involved we simply make things worse. Our government can't even reach a consensus on what is best for this country and yet they think they can decide what is best for every other country, seems rather ridiculous.

So far it is support and the promise of humanitarian aid.

My question is why the promise of humanitarian aid? The government is currently shut down because of needing to increase the debt limit in order to run and yet we are committing to send aid to other countries? It is ridiculous, if people want to send aid they can do it individually but we can't afford the humanitarian aid going on in our country much less supporting every other country on the planet.

Promises and Politicians. Need I say more? Sociopaths and psychopaths succeeding in their career path of politics.
Your problems with the truth are noted, but your steadfast mouthing noted for
The Company line, I presume. DoD BOT!

I understand that, I don't see why that is a responsibility of the US government. If people want to send aid to these people they can do it individually. I don't see how borrowing money to help other countries is particularly smart. We are over 20 trillion dollars in debt, at some point we have to start cutting spending, there is always going to be someone in distress.

Do you believe the same about UNICEF aid? How about AIDS aid in Africa?

It's too early to tell. Trump's taking a big gamble by taking the rebel leader's side. Even bigger gamble considering that Russia and China strongly favor the existing government.

Venezuela could descend into a civil war, and we'd better look out if that happens. Especially if we're playing an active role.

Depends on where the funding comes from. If it is from private donors I am all for it, if it is just more money thrown on the pile of debt the US government is building up then I am against it.
