So it is your contention that Venezuela is not a basket case, and does not have starving citizens, so that the US and European countries are offering food and medicine? Everything is just fine there, and all those Venezuelans trying to leave the country to go almost anywhere else are not really Venezuelans?
That's exactly what I contends, except the refugees are Venezuelans, if a foreign army was coming to invade Australia I'd go to Antarctica which is far better than New Zealand if you considers the bee's knees of the Maoris, I'm not r****t but they are.
The economy is not a problem compared to civil war or outright invasion, things in that regard are great and couldn't be better.
I believe that because that is what is reported from TeleSura, RT and in fact every news channel available in Australia that is not directly controlled by the 6 or 7 Corporations in control of nearly all US, Australian and Canadian main stream media outlets, sure the Venezuelan economy is in bad shape but I watched the May 2018 e******ns carefully the opposition only pulled out when they figured they couldn't win because they couldn't agree on anything, Guaido has put even greater obstacles on opposition unity, their demonstrations are falling apart.
Result of May 2018 Venezuelan P**********l E******ns of the 46% of v**es cast 68% was for Maduro. Many foreign observers agreed e******n was fair and above board.
This reminds me of the Yemenese e******n when the West decided their man Saleh was no longer appropriate, Saleh was the guy who could dance on snake's heads, so everyone v**ed for this little worm Mansur Hadi in 2012 and he won by a big majority because the people believed he had powerful backers more powerful than what backed Saleh, it wasn't true he was puppet without support very much like Guaido.
To further the analogy Colombia is looking very similar the Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Saleh did have a strong base so did Mubarak in Egypt, the reason these leaders were thrown under the bus is because Britain and France wanted the 144 tons of gold in Libya which they got, the reason Europe is supporting Guaido is a pay back for NATO bombing Libya, but Europe will support Iran because they don't want to over pay the US.
Europe even wants to watch and applaud as the US spends trillions on wars with Iran and Venezuela giving Europe a leg up.
If you want to go on a diet the best way is to eat rotten meat, this is a true story, I practice it myself, but it has to be voluntary, that's how Europe sees what's best for the US.
Europe is in bad shape compared to the US, and the difference probably must get much worse still.
Mainly because of the affect that the Law of "Saved Capita" more accurately now described as "Recently Given out Capital" has on " The Global Velocity of Wealth T***sfers " which is foreign investment capital flows in times of uncertainty where capital will gravitate towards the strongest safe haven for capital gains or safe bond yields.
Japan used to be right up there because of Japanese domestic savings, same as the Euro for other reasons, but this has changed dramatically particularly with derivatives which is all that there to invest in, because of massive money printing creating fierce competition for physical investment opportunities and Central Bank manipulation of precious metal and commodity derivatives in general.
Not only all that but the fact is that it just won't work Trump will be left with a failed initiative, Bolton Pence and Pompeo will point to Trump come 2020 and say we need a replacement, depends on who gets the Democratic Nomination that could be awful or good.
