Not just any military coup.. Venezuela needs a Pinochet.
IMHO Without a military coup Venezuela will not remain a country for much longer. People will starve under the boot of Maduro until he can no longer feed the army at which point the central government will collapse. With power being centralized over the last 20 years I don’t imagine any of the resource rich regions will have the wherewithal to take over or to form their own state. The more likely result is that it will become a narco-state similar to Columbia of 20 years ago.
Their imports go to the shops used by the party and the military, and these are well-stocked.
Like Stalin, the party is using shortages of food and medicine to control the population.
Starving the Ukraine, down South America way.
Venezuela needs Jesus. As does the rest of the world.
(Note: technically were speaking of republics, not democracies.)
The people of Venezuela VOTED, V-O-T-E-D for socialism.
It wasn’t imposed on them by wild eyed crazies.
Socialism sounds good until you have to live in it.
They haven’t suffered enough.
I think we could send them some aid if we could send every American university professor to Venezuela for a year to eat cat.
Is every socialist professor in the US asked by the students every day how things are going in the socialist paradise of Venezuela?
Why not?
Democracies and republics crash, when net consumers of government benefits become a dominant voting bloc.
Screw Venezuela.
If this election is stolen from Donald J Trump, or he doesn’t show us that he is serious in dong all he said he is going to do, then It had best be a Militia uprising and revolution.
As for Venezuela, in the words of a dead queen in France, “Let them eat cake”.
If you are stupid, ignorant, or greedy enough to vote for Socialism, you are not qualified to govern yourself.
Bernie will be available soon if they need a new leader for the military to install. They may want things to improve though so while they’re the ideal country for him he’s probably not right for them.
Isn’t a military coup what got them to where they are today?
At this point it will require more than a change at the top. I wonder if they could talk Spain into re-colonializing?
Big Stump Maduro likes to jail all his opposition. Its high time he got a taste of his own medicine. Oust that moron...the sooner the better.
