I'll put 
"This sidebar of yours about some ridiculous tweet that you have tied together with Gaddafi -- another ruthless killer and oppressor of the innocent. Is of no consequence to the real story at hand. Someone said something...so what? It has no relevance in this humanitarian crisis, that is getting worse every day, this situation of the death of a nation.
You muddy the waters with your diatribe.
What you attempt here is to take the reader's mind away from the real to some controlled narrative, orchestrated by you, to blind the truth.
Venezuelan people are starving and being gunned down for excepting food aid, from the Columbian side, or being refused entry back into their own home country of Venezuela carrying food aid. Or escorting boxes of food into Venezuela.
The military have set fire to trucks carrying USAid, food and medicine, and aid from other democratic nations.
"Just last week Caracas accepted 933 tons of food and medical supplies from China, Cuba, India and Turkey, and Russia has shipped in 300 tons of aid on its own." -- Caitlin Johnstone
REALLY...!!!! The only thing that has been airlifted 'IN' is Mercs and armaments. The Russians and the Chinese are desperate to get their $Billions out of the country. They are not interested in putting another dime into it...Maduro has defaulted on a number of very large payments to Russia and China. I'm talking, billion dollar payments.
You're a propagandist Cait, blowing smoke up everybody ass, you are a liar.
Now who is playing the political game, always the zero-sum game with Putin and the Maduro Socialists. You have been condemning the USAid, now its fine as long as it is brought in by the Russians and Chinese or Cubans? Are they (Russia, Cuba and China) interfering in Venezuela then..?
Your hatred of Freedom for the Venezuelans is beyond repute...they don't want Nicholas Maduro or Socialism, he is unable to fulfill his role, and is a usurper! And Socialism is not prosperity for all.
The United States, OAS, and LIMA have been there since the beginning. Up until recently, the Kremlin and China have been taking, not giving...Russia has been selling the Maduro regime weapons; digging the regime deeper into debt. Bringing in Wagner Mercs and military arms and technology. Russia's tag-team BRICS partner China has been doing the same. Selling expensive technology that nobody can afford in runaway inflation. China is flogging 5G around the planet in an attempt to control the market. Hve you been paying attention?
Maduro been building up his Military Socialist oppressive regime in the area -- with an intended Russian military base, a large one in the making. Instead of feeding his people, creating jobs; stabilizing the economy; drastically lowering the runaway inflation; maintaining the oil field infrastructure, which is falling to pieces. Paying off the countries external debts. And allowing the economy to thrive, and Venezuelans to prosper, as they should.
But you never tell that, right! Liar...
"The United States remains committed to helping the people of Venezuela deal with the crisis caused by the Maduro regime, and this assistance is not the first-and will not be the last-that the American people are sending to help those in need. Since Fiscal Year 2017, the United States has provided more than $140 million-including nearly $97 million in humanitarian assistance and approximately $43 million in development and economic assistance- to support the generous efforts of countries in the region that are hosting the nearly 3.4 million people who have fled the chaos in Venezuela."
"Maduro has denounced the aid as a political ploy aimed at toppling his government." -- Venezuelanalsis.com
So what is it when Russia and China and Cuba give supposed (sic) aid. Is it still a political ploy...Btw Venezuelanalysis.com is Socialist, Maduro Regime supported website. It tells nothing but lies, that Maduro's regime has scripted!
So when Four Russian heavy aircraft land -- two Russian nuclear-capable Tu-160 bombers and a II-62 passenger plane, and a heavy-lift AN-124 cargo plane, land at Maiquetia airport outside of Caracas. What do we call that? A TROJAN HORSE?
Because what came out of that passenger plane was Wagner "Little Green Men" What came out of the cargo plane was arms and military technology. And the bombers are there as a military build-up by a foreign Socialist power. Who wish a new Russian military base. But of course America is the bad guy right?

So this phony and fake nonsense that you spew out every day about Venezuela and how America is so bad, is fucking disgraceful. Especially from some virtue signaling twit from outback of Australia, who couldn't find her ass in the dark with both hands...come to think of it, you a bigger girl, maybe you could.
Get a grip Cait. You have drank too much kool-aid and can't see real reality.
Who are the masked men in civilian clothing, shooting real bullets, at the crowds who seek food aid from the Columbian side? Who are the motorcycle two-man hit squads going around shooting protesters -- hunting down protest leaders who are throwing stones.
There were 21,000 killings in Venezuela in 2016 alone.
How many have been shot so far in 2018/2019? Do you know?
You fail to see the forest for the trees kiddo...
"Everyone knows on some level that the US government has a consistent and indisputable track record of lying about the leaders of nations in geopolitically crucial strategic locations when they refuse to bow to the demands of US interests. No matter how many Venezuelans you tell me you've talked to, how evil you tell me Maduro is, how awesome you tell me Trump is, or how bad you tell me socialism is, this will still be true." --Caitlin Johnstone
Who abandoned these oil-tankers in Portugal? The Americans -- or Venezuelans jumping ship in a new country. Because they haven't got paid -- or the authorities in the area who haven't been paid for services applied to those tankers. Millions in debts owed.
There is a brain drain going on, just like in Russia...is this America that is causing this, or is it Maduro and Socialism. He will drive out 5 million people by years end.
Who is neglecting the Oil Field infrastructure, neglecting the workers who flee to Columbia and other places for paid work; who has caused the production of extra heavy crude to decline to near zero and its, eventual collapse; who has allowed, by massive firings and neglect, of legitimate and skilled workers and their replacement by unqualified military personnel. And now the decrease of oil production, because of it, to only a third of what use to be?
Maduro or the US?
Who has driven out investment within the country, stalled out any long-term investment in the oil patch by serious investors? Who has driven out corporations like Coca Cola and Good Year tire -- which has closed operation in Venezuela for good...
Maduro's incompetence. Nicholas Maduro is a bus driver, who has no business driving a country into ruin. He does not know what he is doing -- he usurped the presidency in an illegal election; a fixed election. An election that was purchased, and stolen. Maduro was asked to do the right thing and have a legal and binding election. If he had have been elected into office with a fair election, that vote would have been honored. He has refused, and so so drives the country into the ground. Into ruin, while he and his cronies stuff looted wealth from a failing nation into foreign bank accounts in Russia and China.
What is a shame here is the fact that, even when he is gone and the country is returned to the Venezuelan people, that they might not be able to bring it back to wealth. So much damage; so much external and internal debt has been incurred; so much neglect of the infrastructure of a nation. Somewhere around 320 Billion dollars is owed in debt outside the country alone. It might take years to repair, and enormous amounts of wasted money. Where that money could have been used elsewhere.
Neglected oil patch infrastructure is causing environmental problems that need to be corrected, addressed with much cost; the brain drain of qualified oil field and refinery personnel, of qualified and skilled workers which have fled to other countries will be very hard to replace, unless they use foreign workers -- and vast education policy would be at an utmost.
And what do you talk about...hot air, and a tweet by Marco Rubio. Get a real life Cait."
Facts are important, from every side of the aisle. Debate, counter it if you want to.
