U.S. sanctions have devastated the country. But the Maduro administration appears to have successfully weathered the worst of the storm. Stores are full again, inflation has been tamed, and Venezuela now produces 96% of the food it consumes. On top of that, Maduro’s signature housing policy, Misión Gran Vivienda Venezuela, just celebrated the building of its five-millionth apartment. “Venezuela is healing” is a common slogan across the country.

While the likes of Anthony Blinken and Marco Rubio condemn the electoral process in Venezuela, their positions are not supported by the dozens of Americans who were actually on the ground in Venezuela last week. It is doubtful, however, that those observers’ words and testimonies will be heeded by those in power. After all, for the U.S. Empire, some issues are too important to let the truth get in the way.

Where can I read about this? That sound amazing 😭

The US can’t even decide whether Joe Biden is a legitimate president or protect ‘democracy’ in case it’s threatened. Why do they get the right to open their mouths on anything

I wonder if the State Department ghouls and CIA pricks feel their job get harder, when Americans don’t even respect their own institutions ability to run free and fair elections, so what is there to care about a “third world” country.

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, retweeted a call from far-right Argentinian politician Javier Milei to the Venezuelan military to stage a coup against Maduro.

Nothing says anti-statist small government like federal authorities seizing control.

Under Hugo Chavez, Venezuela nationalized its vast oil industry and used the profits to fund massive social welfare programs, including free healthcare, education and housing.

This isn’t true; the oil industry was nationalized in the 70’s, Chavez just redirected more of the profits of it towards the lower classes.
