Asshole: United States–Venezuela relations - WikipediaThis is a crime against humanity.
"Caracas, April 25, 2019 (venezuelanalysis.com) – The Washington DC-based Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) published a report Thursday on the effects of US sanctions against Venezuela.
The 27-page paper was authored by economists Mark Weisbrot and Jeffrey Sachs, who determined that sanctions have “inflicted very serious harm to human life” in Venezuela.
“The sanctions are depriving Venezuelans of lifesaving medicines, medical equipment, food, and other essential imports,” Weisbrot, Co-Director of CEPR, said in a press release. For his part, Sachs added, “American sanctions are deliberately aiming to wreck Venezuela’s economy and thereby lead to regime change.”
Weisbrot and Sachs pointed out in the report that sanctions “would fit the definition of collective punishment of the civilian population as described in both the Geneva and Hague international conventions, to which the US is a signatory.”"

You have no point. Sanctions and economic war ain´t equal. But we know there is deep state and they know already what they will do in the future. Trump, Obama, Clinton, there´s no difference.
You remember Trump inciting against the German-Russian Northstream Pipelines? Read here:
Obama regime already built the assets to transfer US natural gas to Europe
The sanctions started months ago. Venezuela has been in a crisis for years thanks to the incompetent socialists.
- Oilprice
- Economic boycott by "opposition"
- Sanctions (started 2015)
lol
Dude, I don’t know what retarded source you’re getting this shit from, but up until recently, those sanctions were against individuals and asset transfers from those associated with the regime. Perhaps those far left sites you read haven’t informed you that there has been massive corruption and looting by those in and close to the regime. Your VZ heroes are as corrupt as shit.
The only sanctions that matter are against PdVSA. They are the lifeblood of the regime, and they were imposed recently.
Here are the list of sanctions. Anyone thinking these are the reasons why VZ is collapsing is a clueless moron.
