If Maduro accepts the offer then Venezuela starts recovering sooner. If he refuses he had his chance.
I think he should retire to... Madagascar.
*** despite bringing his country to the verge of economic collapse and humanitarian disaster. ***
I thought the US sanctions which we’ve ratcheted up since around 2014 have harmed Venezuela. Sanctions on medications, freezing assets, stealing assets- That was us, not Maduro.
“DONT CARE ABOUT VENEZUELA!’
I’m with you there. The people of Venezuela voted repeatedly for this. Kind of like the sh*thole big cities do here.
Proves how good socialism works. Can’t get along without the evil capitalists of the US.
Venezuela paid , IIRC, , 25 million dollars for medications that it never received b/c of sanctions.
I guess no one remembers the aid offered to the US by Venezuela of fuel, food, etc to after Hurricane Katrina, or the fuel oil for low income families at a 40% discount during the US fuel oil shortage.
Or nationalizing the oil industries and grocery stores and everything else. It works so well.
Venezuelan elections would look like those in Cuba after much of the upper and middle classes fled Castro early on, or in NYC when the whites evacuated over the past decades; all that is left are people voting lefty, while the best and brightest have moved on.
Decades ago we had a surge of Venezuelans here in NJ who were the educated people who saw the writing on the wall when Chavez came to power; that exodus continued for years, tilting the remaining voters further to “crazy/lefty”.
