God bless president Trump protecting our country!
What is the matter with the UN? What use is the UN? It has done nothing but consuming $hundreds of billions of dollars annually of our tax money worldwide, supporting these so called UN Ambassadors, wondering around the streets of NYC. Some spying on us. What has UN done?
Venezuela is in world crisis where hundreds of thousands if not millions of people are killed, starved, and shot by the demonic power of Maduro. Why can't UN stop him? Get him out of that country, lock him up.
He is the most cruel breathing animal on the face of the earth.
His people are dying, preventing other countries to help the people. Get Maduro out please. I can't stand this anymore. The people are suffering.
Where is Pope Francis? I think he should go to Venezuela, and persuade Maduro to get out safely to other countries. I know the Catholic Church has been sending aid. But what good is that when the aid does not reach the starving people.
I feel like crying. Watching the people, young and old fighting for survival. Kids are dying. I think UN must step in to fight Maduro and evict him from there.
I will see what is next to happen. I pray God will take down Maduro please. Thank you.

All I can say is trumpy should heed his own words. The US has no business interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. Maduro was freely and fairly elected Venezuela's president.
"While many ideologues blame “socialism” for the country’s economic ills, most economists point to a set of policy errors that have little or nothing to do with socialism. Most devastating has been the dysfunctional exchange rate system, which has led to a worsening “inflation-depreciation” spiral over the past four years, and now hyperinflation. Free gasoline and price controls that didn’t work also contributed to the crisis. The Trump administration’s financial sanctions—more than all previous destabilization efforts, which were significant—have made it nearly impossible for the government to get out of the mess without outside help.
More importantly, there has been scant U.S. media reporting on the further economic damage provoked by the Trump administration’s financial sanctions, announced in late August last year (shortly after Trump’s statement about a “military option” for Venezuela).
As my colleague Mark Weisbrot has explained, Trump’s unilateral and illegal financial embargo – which cuts Venezuela off from most financial markets – has had two major consequences, both of which entail increased economic hardship for the Venezuelan people. First, it causes even greater shortages of essential goods, including food and medicine. Second, it makes economic recovery nearly impossible, since the government cannot borrow or restructure its foreign debt, and in some cases even carry out normal import transactions, including for medicines.
Aside from fomenting greater economic havoc in Venezuela, Trump and his coterie of advisors on Venezuela, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio, have supported opposition hardliners in their efforts to scuttle attempts at dialogue and undermine elections, even when these offer the possibility of a peaceful political transition.
Regardless of how one feels about Venezuela’s current government, it is time to acknowledge that U.S. policy towards that country is making things worse. It is generating greater economic pain, instability and political polarization in Venezuela and undermining the odds of reaching a peaceful solution to the country’s political crisis. "
Here if you care to get a more detailed account of what has and is happening in Venezuela, instead of what comes from the lying corporate monkeys in Washington DC.
