We are not ignorant sir this clip has not touched on the real underlying issues that has brought Venezuela into a crisis.

[BaresarkSlayne]

Venezuela is a pretty sad situation. It's proof of what the wrong leader can do to a good society.

if they're starving why can't they just grow food this is been going on long enough and what's wrong with buying animals for breeding

Result of an authoritarian, corrupt, demagogue.

Wikipedia: "Some AEI staff members are considered to be among the leading architects of the Bush administration's public and foreign policy.[5] More than twenty staff members served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions. Among the prominent former government officials now affiliated with AEI
are: Dick Cheney, vice president of the United States under George W. Bush, is a member of AEI's Board of Trustees;[6] John R. Bolton, former Ambassador to the United Nations; Lynne Cheney, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Paul Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense."

What evidence exists that democracy would manage Venezuela better than Maduro has?

[MrThatonebitch]

A lot of people are claiming that America is responsible for this. True? False?

It doesn't matter which system of Government you install, the rich get powerful & there'll always be envy for wealth.
Even in the most harmonious of nations, there's always a pendulum that swings; "Maybe if we elected out this efficient/fair government, we might get a bigger slice of the pie!"
The Politics of Greed can be a difficult path to travel; to alter the 'current situation' to benefit yourself, without being seen to do so & without showing your cards...
