.... no. Venezuela should has diversified its economy
isn't this literally victim-blaming?
what if Venezuela didn't want to diversify its economy? should it be punished by illegal sanctions for that? where is the free market that neolibs talk so much about?
Not wanting to diversify your economy is tantamount to giving your life to others. The reality is that there is no so-called free market at all. It is necessary to maintain the ability to resist risks.
That isn't what happened. The sanctions where because the president didn't have legitimate elections... and killed political opposition. I don't agree with the sanctions as political punishment. But the emergence of Russia played a larger role than sanctions. Russia makes cheaper oil
There are more productive things that starting an argument on the internet. I wish my husband wouldn't waste his time this way. Find people who agree with you and talk about that.
The only reason the elections were declared illegitimate was because Maduro rightfully won. And the opposition wasn't killed, they were imprisoned for being traitors. They should be greatful most of them were allowed to live.
you got any sources to back up your claims big boy?
