Perhaps Barry and his PR man can put together a bailout package…

Well, it can be argued that rather than a bailout, when the total failure occurs, Hissein can take credit for efforts to free the people of Venezuela from the scourge

All it takes is press release

They’re chewing on chihuahuas in Caracas.
Kitty cat is on the menu in Caracas.
Venezuela is no place for a pet to be.

Ooooooooooh........

The socialists are eating slimy snakes.
The progressives are progressively eating parrots.
The liberals are lunching on lizards.

Oooooooooooh.......

Venezuela was going to be paradise.
But now there is no corn or beans or rice.
Now they’re eating rats and cats and mice.

Yes. Ayn and anyone sensible. But it never occurred to any of today’s democrats or journalists that she might be right.

Yes, win/win. BIG crony socialists/new world socialists can swoop in and save the baby chavismos.

“I can’t imagine that either internal entrepreneurs (assuming there are some left) or external companies and investors are going to be rushing back in once the doors open up again.”

I agree. What I can see happening though, is as Maduro becomes more desperate and fearful of not only being removed from power, but for his own safety as well, is that he climbs in bed with those who offer protection from The Great Satan, specifically Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. As Venezuela’s system of socialism crumbles, Haji is there to offer an alternative, and Barry is fully aware of it.

Oil was their golden goose. But through nationalization and neglect the goose wasted away

Badness tends to visit those who express anything less than full support for top socialist leaders. And considering how the production economy has been wrecked there, the only hope for the remaining population is more free stuff; they’ve moved into “cargo cult” mentality there.

Another example of the failure of socialism. However, academics on college campuses in the US will still insist socialism and even communism would produce an earthly paradise if it was just done right.

Those campus academics would argue that the United States is the one country that has the resources to do Socialism right.

Of course that’s nonsense. But we are resource-rich to the point where it would likely take them much, much longer to bring us to the fail point.

There's nothing to worry about. It's democratic socialism. It's all good.

Did the Chavez family repatriate the 4 Billion? That and the slush funds would go a long way toward alleviating the problems.

That was a bravo sierra distraction. The Venezuelan army would have gotten an @$$kickin’ and Chavez and the rest of the “Bolivarchs” knew that. The blowback from such a defeat would have probably toppled the government. Chavez may have been an incompetent clown, but he was not stupid.
