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.

Sadly the people are paying a severe price for Chavez’s political policies that were contrary to US interests. We have an opportunity to send in food and medical supplies but instead punish the people. Typical Obama incompetence.
Lol we have enough of our own problems to invade a country that’s collapsed.
Assure them we are very busy invading other countr…OH, you have OIL?? I’d say the chances are good. BUT, first the Government has to pretend Venezula has attacked us with a false flag op. It will be a week or so. Logistics are a$#%&!@*
Not my leader lol
Anybody that believes The USA is about to invade Venezuela also believes that bottled water tastes better if you shake it real hard…..
We don’t want Venezuela their in worse shape than us!
What for?
What the hell is Obama telling these Countries? we have no intention on going there anybody. Thanks to our terrorist in office for stripping our military, we can’t invade your own White House. He needs to be impeached and Trump needs to start running this country enough is enough.
The irony is that Venezuela has a$#%&!@*load of natural resources and had one of the best economies and living standards until the communists took over. But I bet that if Bernie or Hillary got into office we would start pumping the money to them to stabilize their economy.
It will implode on it’s own.
