All Eyes On Venezuela As Socialism Fails Again

Pompeo said they practically had Maduro on the plane to fly him out of there but the Russians and the Chinese talked him out of leaving.

One of the commentators,(A Colonel in the US Army),to whom I was listening last night in a discussion of Venezuela pointed out that Maduro's army are the ones moving the drugs, like poisonous fentanyl, from China up to Mexico, to the drug lords there, and that they are making a huge amount of money doing it, and that Maduro's army is not going to stop doing that no matter who is in charge of Venezuela.

It's pretty obvious that socialism is not the issue here, although it is also obvious that Maduro's government is allowing his own people to starve.

The real issue is that Russia, China, and Cuba are using drugs as a weapon in their secret war against the American people. They have gained a foothold in Venezuela, pumping drugs up the pipeline to the Mexican drug lords. It is not American sympathy for the starving Venezuelan people that has motivated us to involve ourselves, although we also really do sympathize.

Maduro and his army are like the Godfather and the Mafia. They are just criminals who have taken over an entire country for their own enrichment. And Russia, China, and Cuba are at war with us in a quiet way, setting up the long game.

With the way this is worded you're either for Democracy as Trump states it or in favor of Dictatorships. Unfortunately it isn't quite that way from my perspective.

Do I think Trump has done a good job stating they need to have Maduro step down and accept the right of his people in Democracy. Yes.

Do I think what Maduro had was Socialism. Not only no but hell no. This was a dictatorship and nothing more or less. There wasn't ANY socialism in what his government did. There's a huge difference between Maduro's government and a Socialist Gov't. Maduro's regime was more like the Communists than even what remotely resembles the so-called Socialist Democracies of today.

You seriously believe that? I guess if Johnny I want a war with everyone Bolton said so it must be true. There is literally not a single factually correct statement in your entire post. Maduro is the legal leader(not that Americans worry about legality) with the backing of the people and the vast majority of the military and police. Guaido is a random oligarch nobody has heard of till he became speaker of the house who is happy to sell out his nation and kill the people so he can be the US colonial governor. This has nothing to do with the people of Venezuela and everything to do with the US seeing an opportunity to subjugate the country again.

Educate yourself.

This is NOT socialism. This is dictatordhip, the opposite of a socialistic democratic society!

At the rate things are going there, the International community might want to or need to step in, as it looks like many military have gone over to the interim president's side, which might bring on a violent civil war. Not good. But another factor to be considered is Russia and China's involvement and backing of Maduro which might prove interesting-not that it's been enforced but Trump might invoke the Monroe Doctrine should a civil war break out and the Russians and Chinese become involved.

@Budwick That is total bullshit. A few NED funded astroturf protests have happened paid for by your tax dollars and the NED is and has been from day one a CIA front. The US media won't even publish numbers at these protests because they probably are in the hundreds not thousands. Trump like many other presidents before him is using the color revolution playbook to overthrow a government that has committed the crime of being independent from the US empire while having oil reserves.

[b]That is NOT Socialism![/b]

Libs and Dems need to watch closely, since so many want America to be Socialist. Maybe Bernie can get Maduro to be his VP candidate!

Interim president lol. How's random guaido's embezzlement coming along?
Well at least more than 1 in 5 people in Venezuela have now heard of random guaido now......which is what it was before the election. Plus, his party didn't even run for election. Corrupt and inept, now wonder your lords and masters are backing guaido. Keep up the good work budders, it is good for a laugh 👍

Thank you for best answer!

Socialism is a program that purposely disables people and discourages the middle class. However with that being said, the government will never put people in a position to be totally helpless as the money goes back into the system anyway.

Lol? It's "socialism" when most wealth is privately owned?
