    The reason why Maduro is in power is the US. Plain and simple.

    Hadn’t the US propped puppet right wing governments in Venezuela, there wouldn’t have been a need for a Chavez mesias.

    The US doesn’t care about drugs. They care about Venezuelan oil and continue tal hegemony. That’s it.

    So, it’s not only Trump. It’s every single government before him.

    You may or may not like Maduro, but either way the US cannot be trusted, especially with affairs pertaining to Latin America/the global south. And even beyond that, the Trump administration is a criminal regime, something which they like to accuse others of being. Venezuela is a sovereign state, and the US has no right to interfere.

    The US needs to stay TF out of Vzla. What has Vzla ever done to the US?? It’s ridiculous.

    The thing is if the US just left maduro alone his regime probably would’ve collapsed by now. Every time anything bad happens there he can blame it on the CIA and US plots and half the time he’s right so people still believe him.

    If we got rid of the sanctions then the people couldn’t blame anyone else but maduro for the shit economy and they maybe would oust him. But America just can’t stand an independent left wing country “in there backyard”
