CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Tuesday he had ordered a “revision” of diplomatic relations with the United States and would announce new measures in the next few hours.
Maduro was responding to comments made earlier on Tuesday by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who gave his support to Venezuela’s opposition and called Maduro a “dictator with no legitimate claim to power.”

Now, early yesterday a group of national guard attempted to mount an insurrection against the government, it failed, but it has seemingly renewed protests against the government.
The failed Narco State of Venezuela, I doubt will collapse soon, the reason is that when a country has reached this point, the illicit activities and what remains of the oil revenue, Maduro is plundering to keep the army and police on side and the population that is still left in Venezuela, who knows whether they have the strength or numbers to overcome them.
The Generals are all paid off with oil, drug and other illicit money and are unlikely to bite the hand that feeds them.
I like what Pence had to say here, minus maybe the akward Hola in the beginning, dunno why Trump couldn't make such a statement.
And I have to say, it's pretty laughable Maduro will announce "New Measures", what in the world does that mean?
His country is completely broken, what does he have to use to enact a "measure" against anyone?
It is the USA that has caused Venezuela to be broken.
Maduro needs to keel over and die.
He's continued the destructive legacy of Chavez which has turned Venezuela into a dumpster fire of poverty, hyper-inflation and near-famine.
It is the USA that has caused Venezuela to be broken. Suborning terrorism, Sanctons, embargoes, weaponized banking, weaponized currency, weaponized trade (Citgo) the usual. Like Chavez before him, Maduro is elected. The Venezuelans lean socialist and the USA will do anything to make socialists look bad. Socialism is for people, Corporatism if for, You guessed it, Corporations protected by Citizens United, not by the will of the People. The Oligarchs in the USA will do anything to make Venezuela fail so they can get their dirty dickskinners on that OIL, don't ya' know?

Venezuela collapsed because of the global oil price change in 2014. Not because of socialism. PRICE fixing utterly demolished any chance of a come back thanks to Maduro. The real issue here is what was price fixed - basically everything, even toilet paper.
The country is a lawless wasteland.
That's nonsense. Chavez Nationalized Venezuela's major industries, and then ran them into the ground.
Because of this, the Govt became increasingly dependent on even the most basic necessities, and when the price of oil dropped, they started printing to make up for lost oil revenues.
This led to crippling shortages because importers don't want to be paid worthless Bolivars.

Venezuela put all their eggs in one basket, and that basket was oil. There's more to it then simply claiming "socialism."

They nationalized every major industry, and Banks too, and then Central planner's ran those industries into the ground, becoming totally dependent on a oil industry that was also highly mismanaged
Sorry, it had everything to do with Socialism
