Its stupid, it’s perverse to refuse aid freely given.

But, I have to ask, did this occur on Brazilian or Venezuelan soil?

I admire the nobie bravery and selflessness of the aid workers, but if they were pushing into Venezuela after being warned, they were reckless in the face of threats by an evil dictator’s forces. And, the aid would have been confiscated or diverted, anyway.

Very sad.

From the articles, they are Venezuelans, a group of natives attempting to receive aid at the border. Blockade runners, I guess, but what do you do when people are starving and food is offered?

We need to air-drop millions of these over Venezuela.

And throw in a hundred thousand of these low-cost beauties.

You need to catch up on the details of this situation. The aid has been sitting on the border for weeks, people are dying if starvation and the military is illegitimate, directed by an illegitimate ruler, condemned by all but 5 nations in the world including the pope. This is actually a crime against humanity by Maduro.
