In reply to the discussion: Brazil will not allow U.S. use its territory to invade Venezuela - vice president [View all]Perseus
(4,341 posts)From your defense of Chavizmo, Maduro, the regime, the willfully ignoring what is really happening in Venezuela, calling one group of people "Real Venezuelan People" while dismissing the rest, those who were born, grew up, defended, and many died defending against the maduro regime, you must be a troll for the maduro regime.
Not only are you presenting irrelevant stories, like that of Nixon when Venezuela was a fully democratic country, but insulting 1/2 of the Venezuelan people by calling just 1/2 of them the "Real Venezuelan People" when that is so far from the truth.
To ignore the fact that this regime has destroyed Venezuela is naive, or simply trying to defend a crooked regime, the posts you have shown so far usually divert from the topic at hand, like the Nixon stuff which is of no consequence to the current situation.
Unless you are trolling for the maduro regime, I think you should visit Venezuela for a week, and see how it goes for you there, but then again you may already be there now.
Was there corruption in Venezuela before Chavez? Yes, plenty of it, as a matter of fact, I have told many of my Venezuelan friends that I feel Chavez is the product of corrupt governments that went amok, forgot to keep a balance and allowed the middle-class to suffer. When the middle-class suffers it mean the poor are getting poorer and bad things will happen.
I happen to be visiting friends in 1998, at the end of the campaign, and I told my friends that Chavez campaign was on of the best I had seen. His rhetoric touched on everything the country needed, number one was to get rid of the corruption. Friends who knew Chavez warned me that it was nothing but rhetoric, that his alliance with Fidel Castro was very dangerous and the same tactics Castro used to take power in Cuba was being used in Venezuela. I admitted to being a neophyte of Venezuelan politics at the time, but everything these friends told me that would happen happened.
Please inform yourself from different views, go to Venezuela (unless you are there already), seeing things in real time may open your eyes to the truth.
