The Western world is so conditioned to be scared of the red menace they swallow MSM propaganda whole. Socialism alone could not have destroed such an oil-rich country so thoroghly and so quickly. For the US, spending money to destroy this country is nothing but investment in future oil revenues. As I've already been flagged for my opinions on Venezuela, I just want to add that I do understand the frustration of the people as many are probably desperate at the moment. Desperate people are ready to believe anything, they want to believe the US care for them. A very sad illusion as nobody cares how much people suffer. Not the Americans, not even Chinese or Russians.
