True! But I still have your last post bookmarked, I just fail to get in the right mood to write a proper reply ๐Ÿ˜…
> causing suffering of the people of venezuela by sanctions dictated by the usa
That of course I agree with! But I mean even if US came in guns blazing and removed Maduro from his position, would it be worse for people of Venezuela? What would US do, make them live on minimal wage, pump out all the oil? They are already living like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

@gemlog Most are already poor and do not benefit from oil in any way โ€” Maduro and his close associates do! Their life would probably improves as sanctions get lifted.
Unfortunately Maduro falls in favour again as the gap that appeared on oil market after ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ was sanctioned has to be filled somehow. Guaidรณ's name has already disappeared from all the sanction papers. Had the cunning plan to remove Maduro existed, the US would have never done that.

@gemlog US is of course evil and opportunistic, betraying their ally like that is a good example, but it doesn't make Maduro the good guy. And he's not bad by association only either.
