Nope I haven't noticed because I'm not parroting anyone's words, I'm telling you he is a dictator because that is my viewpoint of him ever since he was "elected" which was anything but democratic and he stayed in power using the same tactics that got him the power to destroy his country...The Venezuelan government destroyed that country, not the US, it's been on a self guided path of destitution for many years without US involvement, that's what socialism does when a dictator is at the helm, the people suffer as a result...
...
Well if the opposition party hadn't opposed the presence of UN election observers, maybe we'd have some empirical data to question the election results - but they did oppose UN election monitoring, so all we have is their word for it, and obviously they're biased.
And Venezuela's Supreme Tribunal of Justice ruled the National Assembly's attempt to install the unelected Juan Guaidó as President, as unconstitutional.
Sure it's a mess. But the only reason the US cares is because Venezuala is sitting on huge oil reserves, and the Venezuelan people don't want our brand of "help."
The US doesn't give a damn about the suffering of the Venezuelan people - and the Venezuelan people know it. The US doesn't even care about our own people - we're the only developed nation without universal healthcare and we could abolish homelessness for $20B/year but it's not even brought up for a vote...while we shovel over $700B/year to the rapacious war machine that's been setting the world on fire for the last 20+ years.
There are
far more violent and oppressive leaders around the world - funny how we don't care about them unless they're sitting on top of huge oil reserves. Must be a coincidence. After all, the media has convinced the masses that we're the Boy Scouts of global justice...even as we leave a trail of smoldering terrorist-infested hellscapes behind everywhere we get involved.
The Venezuelan people need to work out their own problems - and that's exactly what they want to do. The only reason this story is even in the media is because the Trump administration and our warmongering corporatist political leaders in both parties and the CIA want to exploit and exacerbate the instability to secure their natural resources.
I can't fathom how any American can see the horrific carnage and the global terrorism epidemic that we've created by pursuing these kinds of CIA-sponsored "regime change operations" in Iraq and Libya and Syria...and yet support more of the same kind of calamitous involvement in Venezuela. The shortest path to a smoldering ash heap littered with corpses in Venezuela, is via US involvement there.
