The people of Venezuela should be the richest people on earth, but they are the poorest

[MarcATL]

They were rich as compared to today. Resources that they have are much more than middle east oil kingdoms. And many of them are living great lives. The last few decades are/were socialism plus and many more people have become impoverished. Perhaps we need to concentrate on nations in this hemisphere to become richer now. It will take time. Things can improve quickly though with some declines as the system of government changes. You guys bitched if Trump was an isolationist as a nationalist. Isolationism is impossible. Now he is doing something about it from his political side. America first means if he does this, we get our cut.

You don't even believe that nonsense you're spewing. Spare me the bullshitt.

Were they ever rich OP?

Up until the early 90s they were considered one of the most prosperous nations in Latin America

They were never remotely a contender for “richest people on earth”, though

I can’t believe what our country is doing. Qaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around, we have soldiers all have the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage.

You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst. Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before.

Now, ultimately, the people will appreciate it. They're gonna end up taking over the country eventually, but the people will appreciate it, and they should pay us back.

But we have go in to save these lives; these people are being slaughtered like animals. It’s horrible what’s going on; it has to be stopped.

We should do on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively, and save the lives.

- Donald J. Trump

You’ve learned nothing these past few decades.

$30 trillion in debt, failing infrastructure, healthcare, education…,falling life expectancy, millions homeless, millions living in or near poverty…but you think foreign interventions benefit Americans.

They do benefit at tiny wealthy connected group of Americans. You aren’t among them. Why do you support harming yourself?

Try convincing yourself Trump is a Democrat. Then your mind might work.

I believe that the ghettos we have should be much reduced to what we have. Yet here we are. Spending endless trillions of dollars. All you are doing is getting your sentences I typed in other threads and using the same words against me. You want socialism. Then everyone lives the same. And that aint happening.

Just more proof that everything Marxists touch TURNS TO SHIT.

Post the definition of socialism.

lol. You are so deeply stuck in the uniparty matrix.

You deny the following. Why?
“The United States has a rich history of overthrowing democracies around the world, and we have a rich history of siding with some of the world's biggest dictators. So this idea that we're out there protecting freedom & democracy, doesn't mesh with reality.”

—John Mearsheimer

Party has nothing to do with it, Venezula doesn't have a dem party or a republican

 

[Missouri_Mike]

If socialism is so bad why does the US government do all it can to destroy it? Why not just let it die on its own?

Do you ever ask yourself that question?

It died on its own 25 years ago, how the hell do you think they ended up like this?

Really? So socialism doesn’t work and destroys nations, yet your beloved government does all it can to harm socialist nations. Why do they bother?

Venezuela’s hidden jewels: Decoding why it’s so rich in oil and gold

Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves and substantial gold deposits, driven by its unique geology in the Orinoco Belt and Guiana Shield.

www.indiatoday.in

The country of Venezuela should be the richest people in South America, owning some of the largest deposits of gold and oil in the world. However, since the Marxist Hugo Chavez took over that country in 2002 and then taken over by Maduro, it has become one of the poorest. The leader Maduro is the dictator Marxists like Mamdani are crying about losing power, because they want to do the EXACT same thing to all of us.

Now compare this to the dictator Gaddafi in Libya, or I should say, before President Obama overthrew him and later murdered. Unlike the Marxist dictators in Venezuela, the people of Libya had the highest standard of living in Africa.

Gaddafi’s Libya Was Africa ‘s Most Prosperous Democracy – Just International

just-international.org

It was also one of the most democratic states on earth. It is then ironic that Libya does not have close to the wealth in natural resources like oil and gold that Venezuela has.

So, comparing the two dictators, who deserved to be removed more? Is it the one Barak Obama removed, as Europe and NATO praised him, giving him a Nobel Peace prize for murdering Gaddafi, or is it President Trump whom removed a dictator that replaced a woman who won a Nobel Peace prize because she was expelled by Maduro? And to think, Trump will even give Maduro his day in court, something Gaddafi never had.

Communism has never worked.
And never will.
Why people continue to fall for the Big Lie is beyond me.

 

[yidnar]

Proof that capitalism is a fraud and the rich get richer, especially the government higher ups like Chump.

 

[WEATHER53]

Yeah those 73 white collar criminals are destroying America.
The 50 million illegal aliens who have destroyed blue collar trades, all wages, our healthcare, education, social services, emergency services and rents….the ones who have fed our sons fentanyl and maimed, raped and murdered our daughters have nothing to do with it.

Most lib loon wack jobs have zero knowledge of the Fact that the combined incomes of all the billionaires in the USA is far far far less than all the combined incomes of all other workers
It’s just coloring book nonsense to rail at about 150 billionaires

Venezuelans should move to Minneapolis and open day care and learing centers.

Post the definition of socialism.

Everyone lives the same. Enroute to communism. It is so tiresome with the explanations and the so-called real definitions of socialism and communism. The millions of people on the drug addled road from central and south America to our nation is proof enough. Through influencing vengeance occurs in our nation today. Influencing! So, our politicians must live near the same as the working man. To uplift all. In theory anyway. Maduro was living the good life while the citizens suffered.

There is this thing called a dictionary, maybe start there:
