Venezuela is on the brink. It has a socialist majority because previously the rich bleed them dry. Now the boot is on the other foot and the socialists are starving out the middle and upper classes who traditionally voted for the elite that controlled the media in Venezuela.

So sad. At some point it will flip again and the cycle will repeat itself.

Meanwhile the US continues to pressure the socialist government through sanctions in order to break a government that they don't approve of. Whilst the oil price remains low, the socialist government can't profit enough to get back on track.

The innocents, including children are going to starve, because the USA refuses have any kind of socialist leaning government in its back yard. it's been going on for decades. Rinse and repeat. Meanwhile the socialist "elite" make sure that they have good on their tables and punish the middle classes for their refusal to accept their ideology, happily lining their own bank accounts.

It is somewhat ironic that their neighbour Colombia, that for years was the black sheep of the region, has swapped roles with its previously rich sibling.
