    We sent food and aid.
    Juan Gerardo Guaidó Márquez is a Venezuelan politician who is the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela and is recognized as acting President of Venezuela by 54 governments.
    Venezuela is on a different continent than Syria and while they may look the same to you, they are actually vastly different cultures. If you wish to discuss Syria, please find an appropriate topic and discuss, or start a separate topic.

    Thank you,
    Zorro

    No, that has nothing to do with it. It's the laws and the culture inherited from Spain. Those in British based cultures, like the USA, have done a lot better.

    One of the few Latin American success stories was Chile but that was due to A. Pinochet. Leftists would have prefered that Chile become another Cuba but, alas, Pinochet and his supporters decided otherwise.

    You feel these countries still have British influences? Which are those?

    You feel Latin American countries still have Spanish influences even though they've been independent for 100 years longer than any country I just mentioned?

    Unfortunately that's one of those 'unintended consequences'.

    Of course. Not only do I 'feel' it, it's very obvious to them and to me.

    No, it wouldn't get that bad, but I think Sanders would damage the economy.

    Allways, lots of questions.
    What are you doing there and which country.

    I worked in Chile, when Pinochet was around.
    I rather disagree with you.
    Have family in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia and Peru.

    Last I heard from Trump was Russia needs to get out
    Did Russia leave Venezuela.? sounds like a good opportunity for Russia to get involved in sex trafficking and hookers and all that stuff

    No, when it comes to sex trafficking, pedophilia and such, we have that very much in control here in the US and England.

    Plus, we pulled a nifty bit of burglary, stealing the Venezuelan gold with the help of the British.

    That or impose Alexandria Occasional-Cortex on them since they are already -- reluctantly -- living HER ideal of a green energy existence. She'd have no real work to do at all and could teach them how to tend bar . . . once they could afford booze again; that is . . . or even bars for that matter.

    The US and its followers decided otherwise and the result was a ruthless and brutal military dictator ship.
    Which in the end screwed up the country as bad as A would have done it.

    Sanders comes across as a crazy old uncle. The thing is Sanders was always a crackpot.
