Venezuela

[JustJack]

At least George Bush bothered to make it look like he had an excuse to murder and pillage a country for its resources

Absolutely not, just replacing one dictator for another. Better the devil you know, unfortunately in this case.

if your argument is "Rule by Maduro is definitely better for the people than whatever comes next" then you'd have a job on your hands trying to convince the locals. They're really suffering, and are desperate for regime change, even though they are aware it doesn't come without significant risk.

The minimum wage in Venezuela is equivalent to about a quid a month. That's enough to buy about a kilo of tomatoes per month. One month last year petrol prices leapt over 50%. Venezuela is one of the most oil rich countries in the world yet folks can't afford to fill their cars. On days when petrol prices drop then folks are queuing at the pumps.

Life under Trump or whoever is shoehorned in on his behalf is of course not guaranteed to be better. But the fact is that this is viewed by many as preferable to what they have been enduring.

Try not to continue comparing Venezuela's predicament to that of Greenland.

Donald should be next on Donald’s list.

That's enough purity for me.

Thread ignored.

I think he's already been caught. There is no way a person in his position should be acting the way he does.

I'm sure the Venezuelan people will be overjoyed with whatever government is formed after the Yanks take all their oil (leaving them even less well off than they were before).

The problem is Squarey you cant really be going into another country and kidnapping the president.
Oh and as for life under Trump or whoever is shoehorned in on his behalf not guaranteed to be better ask these fuckers on here because if they don’t know what’s going to pan out nobody will.

Donald should be a shoe in for next year's Nobile Peace Prize, once he's finished collecting countries.

One thing’s for sure. No one in Europe will ever trust them again.
