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.

LMAO why the hell would we invade that hell hole unless berry thinks his boyfriend is there.
We need to be careful and not allow the Democrats to do that to our country.
No way……the U.S. Shouldn’t touch this place with a fork……let them implode.
We have enough problems of our own! Think we need to invade a country that can’t even feed their people?
Whatever works.
When did we declare on this country? Crazy.
We should invade to save once our corrupt government is vetted we should go wipe out the scum . Plant the american flag and peace might have a chance these barbaric people wont coexist ever.$#%&!@*that’s their plan so hide your only defense . UN troops are coming they have no problem killing us. Because they are the problem.
i agree with what you guys are saying. I work, 285 days a year, in the middle east and SE Asia so I see the threat. At the same time we have gangs in the US that are killing hundreds and thousands of our own people. Terrorist have killed a few dozen in the US since 911. I am not saying there is not a threat because there is but I am saying that its easier to handle an external threat then to deal with difficult social and economic issues back home.
Chavez used that ploy when he was alive, but I think they have wised up by now
