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.

What the$#%&!@*for. A broke$#%&!@*socialist state. Tell you what we can send you all our liberal snowflakes to “cool” things off.
Drop pamphlets and leaflets over their cities stating the US has no interest in invading them, their government is lying to them to establish fear and gain obedience from the public.. next thing you know they’ll start loading them into trains.
We don’t even want California… Why would we invade Venezuela?
And the moron college students think it would be different here. Some college profs need purged.
Let’um fight their own battles.
The people are probably hoping the USA is going to invade they are hungry I feel sorry for them but there are not too many decent governments south of the Texas border Mexico is corrupt and always has been that is why the Mexicans pour across the border
Venezuela is collapsing…, Obama loved Hugo Chavez, and the socialist country…. their citizens are starving, no jobs, no money, no health care…. just despair… all because of socialism
Jim your a vast pool of knowledge you seem to know more about the president then any one else. Venezuela is another failed South American dictatorship that followed a fool who had no thought for the future. Socialisim always fails.
And why would we want your country
Jim Aird, just where did you get your facts, out of a box of Trix.
