US Sanctions Leave Millions of Venezuelans Without Water

thing is that the 'venzies' aren't dying of thirst . In fact in a post or 2 in this thread i see them carrying water . Looks like water is available though maybe not convenient to access eh ??
The actual problem is electricity. Please ask your gov to stop cyberattacks on Venezuela´s hydropower plant.

"Caracas, a city of 2 million, sits in a valley some 3,000 feet above sea level. The public water system relies on a succession of pumps that require massive amounts of energy. Without electricity, the water doesn’t flow."

Only socialism could turn off the electricity in the country with the largest oil reserves on the planet.

Yup, it's you that's pathetically gullible...... Keep swinging though, one day you might actually hit the ball. :lol:
You ain´t serious.
Completely serious, you on the other hand are indeed a disinformation agent or absolutely clueless.
Look, your point of view is that when the US imposes sanction on any country, it´s the Russian´s fault. What starfish are you trying to convince?
That's not even a good spin/misrepresentation on what I was saying, dayamn!!!!
It is even exactly what you said.
No I didn't, it's how you're interpreting what I said. Are you doing it on purpose or are you that stupid?

Yeah but that doesn't make Russia responsible for the sanctions which is what you apparently implied and that the sanctions are to blame.
So instead of doing the obvious and taking what I said out of context let's recap what I was referring to;

US puts sanctions on Venezuela.
Russia can and will, when it suits their purpose, completely ignore those sanctions.
If Maduro doesn't ask for Russia or China's help in this matter then are the ignored sanctions to blame? No.......
If Russia and Venezuela are deliberately holding up the shipment of pumps for propaganda reasons then it's obvious who's at fault for not getting the pumps to the people who need them..... Not the US......

“All week long you see people carrying water by here. Saturdays and Sundays, in particular, when people are off from work.”

Here’s the problem. The pump needed to push the water up the hill and into their home. Well, it’s broken. And U.S. sanctions are blocking the country from acquiring new pumps, motors, pipes and replacement parts.

US Sanctions Leave Millions of Venezuelans Without Water



Does this president even know what sanctions are ?
I don't even think he really wanted to be president, to be perfectly honest. It appears that Donald Trump is learning
as he goes, like on-the-job training. ( He's like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinnie) He should have taken lessons from Obama on teleprompter reading , that's for sure.

No, they cannot. The sanctions are extensive and even hit the bank card system so that Venezuela´s banks now have to create an own. They aim at the total destruction of Venezuela.
Only the effective measures of Maduro´s government prevent the worst case.

Sounds awful! So post the sanction that blocks importation of water pumps.

The ineffective measures (and corruption) of Maduro´s government are the worst case.
 
So let me ask you..... If Trump decided that having the Democrats controlling congress right now, was a threat to his power, and decided to create a new governing body to replace Congress... stacked with pro-Trump Republicans.......

Would you be defending him? Would you be complaining if the international community put up sanctions against him?

Or.... are you a scum sucking bit of human trash Hypocrite?

Just curious.
You need to go back
and ask yourself
what the fuck you are talking about . Guaido is an IMF puppet. Period.
What part of my OP do you not comprehend ?

You seem to be confused on how this came about.

The elections put in a sweeping majority in the Venezuelan National Assembly. Maduro unconstitutionally created a new National Constituent Assembly. Then the unconstitutional Pro-Maduro NCA, stripped power from the constitutional opposition National Assembly.

This is about as clear of an example of a total dictatorship, as one could possibly imagine. The will of the people has been completely overthrown.

The opposition National Assembly that was elected by the people, then declared, in accordance with their constitution, that Maduro was a usurper. It was the National Assembly, elected by the people, that declared Guaidó the intern president.

Where do you see the US in any of that? You don't. There is no information or evidence, suggesting that the US was involved in any of this.

It's difficult to find evidence supporting the claim the US has NOT regularly meddled in the political affairs of countries like Venezuela, and it hasn't improved since Trump took over:

https://www.usnews.com/opinion/worl...istration-is-meddling-in-venezuelas-elections


"According to a source with knowledge of the matter, the leading opposition contender for Venezuela's May presidential election, Henri Falcón, was told by U.S. officials that the Trump administration would consider financial sanctions against him if he entered the presidential race. (The U.S. State Department did not return requests for comment.)

"The U.S. has backed the main opposition coalition decision to boycott the election.

"Falcón is a former governor and retired military officer. He is leading in the latest polls, and according to the most reliable opposition pollster, would defeat Maduro in the election by a margin of nearly 7 percentage points."

And that's it? That's all you got?

In the 1960s, JFK trained and armed a bunch of guys, and dropped them off at Cuba.

And your big beef with Trump on this, is that he said he would consider financial sanction if he ran against Maduro?

Big deal. Every country does stuff like this. The EU has weighted in on the election in Venezuela. Russia has weighted in.

Now if you can point to Trump doing something like send shipments of heavy weapons, like the Soviets did in Chili.... ok, now I'm with you.

But Trump has not done that, and you know I both know it.

Show me some real 'meddling' and I'll be on your side of this argument.

However, this doesn't even address what I was talking about. The claim has been made, that everything that is going on in Venezuela is our fault. Saying that we might do something, if so-and-so runs in the election, would not have caused everything that has happened up till now.
 
Look, your point of view is that when the US imposes sanction on any country, it´s the Russian´s fault. What starfish are you trying to convince?

The question is does anyone care about Venezuela

or is it because Trump made it an issue that now America has to be involved so that Trump can show how tough he is and declare success in a foreign matter

US involvement in Nicaragua went so well

US involvement in guatemalan civil war went so well

Bay of pigs was such a success

The road to re-election goes through Venezuela

Yes. We care about another Russian sponsored authoritarian socialist dictator in this hemisphere.
And it's a humanitarian disaster in Venezuela but the backers of Maduro the Butcher don't seem to mind at all.
 
Trump says he respects Putin during a Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly. Trump defends Putin when O’Reilly calls him a killer.
