Socialism always starts as a “people’s movement,” with mindless and ignorant people being directed by elitist con men in the background, telling the foolish that by bringing down the “rich,” everyone will share in the abundance that socialism will bring. It is always a lie, and invariably almost all the people end up in poverty, with the exception of the top socialist leaders who live like kings. Fidel Castro is certainly one who has lived that life, and his protege, Hugo Chavez destroyed the Venezuelan economy pursuing the same socialist policies.
When the economy comes crashing down, it is necessary for the leadership to blame an outside source, and when Chavez was alive, he continually named the United States for all of the woes the country was suffering from. In fact, the oil rich country provides 9 percent of the U.S. gross oil imports, which must be a considerable sum of export income to the nation of 30 million people. As such, the U.S. provided a huge portion of the countries income, but Chavez resented that as well.
Venezuela has expropriated foreign and domestic businesses, which means that the people have little invested in the country and are becoming very unhappy with the leadership as it nosedives to complete economic ruin.

OIL !
Yeah, like Venezuela would be an asset to the U.S. We’d have to SUPPORT them too. Please, can’t afford to support any more countries.
???We have never invaded a country unless they attacked first us or so many were dying by a civil war..I say leave them alone and let them deal with it themselves, we dont need more pots in the fire….
Just like North Korea
We have a lot of mindless socialist idiots here that wants this kind of life
I thank God every day that he gave us president Donald Trump we could be facing exactly what these people are going through. Barry tried to tear our government down made it hard for our military and the list could go on forever.
Ok, they have oil so what? WE have oil too, the difference is this; Barrack Hussain Obama has fixed it so that we cannot drill for it, he has also fixed it so that we have very few refineries here in the USA to make gasoline for our cars which along with OPEK, I hope I spelled that right, cutting production of fuels drives our prices up. WE HAVE OIL and WE DO NOT need THEIRS!!! They have nothing to be worried about unless they want to start a problem. Sorry if I seem out of sorts about this but, I have a problem with the sheeple of this country thinking we NEED something from some other country that we have right here but are too sorry to work to get it.
STEP 2, The power grab! Scare the people into accepting a supreme authority by fear of a invading force! $#%&!@*Playbook)
Are they NUTS! They don’t have anything I’d care to have.
I remember how the Venezuelan people embraced socialism on charismatic words of Hugo Chavez. Now the country is bankrupt and the people are eating pigeons stray cats.
Socialism sounds good until you run out of other people’s money.
