Why do we the USA scream about Russian interference to our elections but here we are openly admitting to interfering in Venezuela’s elections when are we going to learn to stop sticking our noses in other countries business let them elect who the want. It just hurts us in the long run

Thanks kindly Imran for creating the non-confrontational space and for hosting such a civilised, calm and extremely informative discussion. Thanks dearly to Temir, Vanessa and Phil for your civilised, calm and extremely informative inputs. It is with such conduct of upright 'dignity' that solutions to "impossible" conundrums may be glimpsed -- for the people -- for US.
-Appreciation to AlJazeeraEnglish for the very visible platform as well, obviously...

Has the United Nations outlawed dictatorships? Empower the United Nations and the International Criminal Court. The Venezuelan people deserve relief from the global hegemony wrecking ball.
