I respectfully ask why all of you "concerned" about "outside influence" were so silent through all these years while cuban operatives were systematically inserted in key areas of the venezuelan government, including the military, national ID system and political police. Are you aware of the tortures they commit against political prisioners or military officials under their suspicions? Cuba's best import besides rum and cigars is repressive techniques, and venezuelans have been suffering that for years already, but hey let's cry about US meddling.
When Chávez mortgaged the country to Russia and China none of you even flinched, now we are in massive debt, due to huge loans in exchange of oil and that money was basically stolen.
We have almost A THOUSAND political prisoners, we haven't had free elections in years, every time a new "election" comes up the government jails whoever candidates they want based on hubris or simply bars the parties he doesn't like from participating. When people take the street to protest either the national guard or the civilian paramiltary of the government get to the streets and shoot live rounds to the people.
When the opposition won a majority of the national assembly the government ordered their supreme court to basically rule any law or decision coming from that elected power to be void, and they created a new assembly out of the air filled with people from the government party. But you are concerned now about outside influence.
Tell me, please, enlightened privileged beings, how are venezuelans suppose to deal with a government composed of criminals that pee on a daily basis on the constitution they created? thankfully we seem to have a way out ahead of us with the support of over 50 countries.
- TLDR: we need all the help we can get, send marines as a last resort if necessary, we are being ruled by stealing shitlords involved in drug dealing + moreernexbcn

(I don't want to fight, nor defend the dictator in power).uan - Shouldn't you be calling the UN Peacekeepers instead of the US Army for help?uan
- My comments were really just about how the U.S. media covers situations like these. There is never any real debate about whether we should be involved,yuekit
- or what the plan is. Which you would think would be obvious questions to ask given the track record of almost total failure over the past 10-20 years.yuekit
- lol, do you really believe that the Trump administration gives a damn about the people of Venezuela?Milan

- ^ Looks like the military is actually resisting the idea of direct intervention. The pressure to invade is coming from people like John Bolton, who wasyuekit

- Balkan's war is another great example of US leadership that stabilized a region.hotroddy
