    The denial is low brow and therefore of no interest. You forgot to reply to what is said. Of course the authoritarian personality is also insistent on simple prolemics.

    Again, I'm not interested in the low brow prattle. I'm interested in the authoritarian personality and the extent that it has enabled hawkish foreign policy.

    So you don't have an opinion on the authoritarian personality and it's part in enabling government aggression?

    Again, not interested in your denial and rejection of the obvious. The lack of critical thinking is expected with the authoritarian personality mind you.

    How did they get poor in the first place in order for it to be at the Expense of the Poor?

    Under ideal conditions trade can be a win for both countries

    But not if one country is attempting to subvert the economy of another country by driving their competition out of business

    These documents should be submitted to the National Security Archive for authentification. I wouldn't run with them until then. Everything in there is already in the public record anyways.

    Of coarse they will attempt to Deny it one way or the other.
    It will be Officially Denied with much Brou Ha Ha -
    ..........................Or It will be met with a stony silence.

    Being that it was Outed 6 days ago, we may assume they
    have for the moment decided on a Stony Silence
    no doubt trying desperately to come up with a strategy to deal With It

    Be further assured some Government Hans Brinker
    is franticly running around searching for the Leak in the Dyke

    Why so Paranoid ? - You can find copies of this document published by trusted International
    Web Sites
    dated as early a May 2018 - This document's AUTHENTICITY has never been Challenged
    It has NEVER been Challenged because they know it cannot be effectively Challenged - and to
    attempt to do so would only deepen their embqarasment -
    The best they can do is a Stoney Silence

    Plan To Overthrow The Venezuelan Dictatorship – “Masterstroke”
    21. May 2018 BlauerBote
    http://blauerbote.com/2018/05/21/plan-to-overthrow-the-venezuelan-dictatorship-masterstroke/


    .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    & Further !
    - There is yet another unfortunate "Official US Document" loose on the Web -
    This one actually Brags of the Damage they have caused, and intend to cause the Venezulan people.
    It also highlights the Strings they have attached to their Puppet. This document has the sign & seal
    ........................................................................................................................... of The US State Department


    US State Department Publishes, Then Deletes
    A Sadistic Venezuela Hit List Boasting Of the Economic Ruin

    https://thegrayzone.com/2019/05/06/...venezuela-hit-list-boasting-of-economic-ruin/

    I
    t actually Boasts of the Devastation & Suffering they have caused, and intend to cause the people
    of Venezuela, (whom of course they Love) and intent to bring the benfits of US Democracy & RAPE

    From The Article
    The Grayzone has obtained a list of “key outcomes” on Venezuela deleted out of apparent embarrassment
    by the State Department. It boasts of wrecking the nation’s economy, destabilizing its military, and puppeteering
    .......................................................................................................................................... its political opposition.

    &
    Entitled “U.S. Actions on Venezuela,” the document boasted that U.S. policy had effectively prevented the Venezuelan
    government from participating in the international market and has led to the freezing of its overseas assets. It read like
    a sadistic celebration of Washington’s retribution against the Venezuelan population as a whole, the kind of collective
    punishment which is illegal according to Article 33 of the Geneva Conventions.


    The Official US State Department Document May Be Found HERE:

    So when my friend suggests that, - I "Get a grip" - Okay I'll do that ! - GOOD ADVICE
    But may I reciprocate and suggest that he "hang on tight for the ride"

    So YOUR rational is this - Maduro is strangling his own people

    So WE will institute a regime of devastaing Sanctions against Venezuela. Sanctions that will cause
    as much depravation, starvation, disease and death as possible. (AKA Strangulation)

    WE will throttle Venezuelan people. - Maybe murder half a million children like we DID in Iraq.
    ......................................................... It will be "A price that we feel is Worth IT"

    What you are seeing in Venezuela is a colossal failure of socialism. Thanks Maduro
