this kind of meddling often involves america appointing its own strongman and that is exactly what trumpwithjuan guaido and regime change by america is of great concern indeed. it's easy to forget that venezuela has the greatest oil reserves in the world, by far, more than saudi arabia. america has already imposed sanctions on the venezuelan state oil firm and crippled its shipments which amounts to almost all of venezuela's exports. given america's legacy in its involvement in oil wars, it wouldn't be surprising if america got sucked in and... people would say... i wouldn't ever focus on oil, the social crisis is what's important. america has very bad history. and one other aspect you have to remember is venezuela has very close ties to america. when i was on this trip a decade ago, i met a woman, solid chavez supporter, her son was in america playing baseball. there is a constant interchange, this is the dynamic that people up here don't realise about american relations into latin america. it's like a... it's familial except that your big brother is also a bully. it makes for a very di
