It's horrifying when the U.S. Government decides to target your government, and dictate what constitutes democracy. In the case of Venezuela almost 20 years of covert warfare, destabilization, and heavy economic manipulation has destroyed the country without ever sending in U.S Troops. Most in the U.S. revel over the fact that Socialism failed in Venezuela. How did the choice of Venezuela's style of Government have any hope of success with the weight of the U.S. Government on it's head. What Government could survive with Billions of dollars spent against it to destabilize society and destroy it's economic ability to thrive?

Without writing a book, I couldn't possibly in a short blog detail 20 years of the U.S. Government's plan to destroy Venezuela's Government for not bending the knee to the Economic Hitman and U.S. Corporate interests.
It would take a book alone just covering what has occurred during the Trump Administration.
As a matter of fact I almost regret writing about Venezuela, because to open eyes to the truth of recent events can't be done in one sitting.
I would guarantee you that 99% of Venezuela's critics in the U.S. have never even spent 5 minutes researching the truth behind Venezuela dating back to President Hugo Chavez nationalising Venezuela's oil supplies, the very same event that destroyed Iran's Democratically elected Government in 1953. It was Hugo Chavez nationalising Venezuela's oil supplies that set up Venezuela for destruction by the U.S. Government not socialism.
I'm going to post several links that summarize almost 20 years of the U.S. Government's war on Venezuela and it's people. From CIA sponsored Coup d’état's against both 21st century leaders of Venezuela Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, including funding political parties that opposed Chavez and Maduro, the very crime Social Media has used to mass censor free speech and the U.S. Government has wasted millions of dollars with fictitious claims that the Russian Government has been meddling in U.S. elections. The absolute height of hypocrisy, I might add! Plus an assortment of highlights that absolutely destroys the Mainstream Media's and the U.S. Government's official narrative on the Government of Venezuela.
The very reason Venezuela has been made to suffer. Hugo Chavez nationalising Venezuela's oil supply. This was the beginning of the U.S. Government's vendetta against Venezuela.

Sanctioning a Countries Economy into the Stone age is the first U.S. Attack before the hammer falls and is key in destabilizing the targeted society, it generally makes the common people suffer rather cruelly in an effort to craft a Coup D’état against the targeted nation.

The most obvious nail in Venezuela's coffin was dropping the U.S. Dollar. Most people reading this, all 2 of you, already know what happens when you drop the U.S. Dollar in oil trades. Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi are examples of what happens when you cross the U.S. Dollar, and soon you might add Nicolas Maduro to that list.

China and Russia have invested heavily in Venezuela. That is one way to get on the short list of the U.S. Government. Letting China and Russian interest's in while taking out 120 Billion dollars in loans from China and Russia without going into slavery through the IMF is a major F.U. to Washington and Corporate America.

U.S. Social Media Corporations are even being weaponized in the propaganda war against Venezuela. Twitter has purged well over 2,000 accounts that were Pro Maduro. The Trump Administration repeatedly has threatened Venezuela with Military action through the use of Twitter. Every avenue of communication has been used to publicly spread the word of the U.S. Government's narrative on the Venezuelan Government.
Before the die hard anti-socialists spam the comment section, this post is not in defense of Socialism. This is about the U.S. Government intentionally spending 20 years of untold Billions of dollars interfering in a sovereign nation's ability to self govern. The rationality behind wasting resources forcing a leadership change in Venezuela is outright appalling and not very democratic. The fact that this really began with Hugo Chavez Nationalising Venezuela's oil supplies and dropping the chains of the IMF is what this attack on Nicolas Maduro today is all about. If you hate socialism so much quit supporting Corporate America the largest Socialist theives in the known Universe. Quit buying Chinese goods and supporting Corporate American Companies that have off shored American job's to the largest still Communist nation on Earth.
I leave you with countless more links proving that the U.S. Government destroyed Venezuela's economy and society. The only way you could say Socialism destroyed Venezuela is if the U.S. Government actually allowed Venezuela 20 years ago to manage their own destiny free from the Tyranny of Washington DC. We will never know how bad Socialism is in Venezuela, because it was never even given an opportunity to fail without the full weight of the U.S. Government's manipulative hand.
