that now the united states is claiming that they are not able to get humanitarian aid into venice whalen and venezuela has also made the claim that they found some cargo that included weapons and ammunition that were made in the usa so there's a lot of different statements going on here but at the end of the day we really have to ask the question about what the song actually believe that are actually seeing and we've seen protests from both sides that we've seen you know media coverage of a lot of those protests of thousands of people taking to the streets people that are very passionate about what side it is that they believe in whether it's that they actually support the opposition leader or that they support the united states staying out of their country altogether so here are some comments specifically from the people in caracas that somebody we don't know if we're avoiding a war they don't want to stop it what we going to do for with the total this is horrible they want to seize the reaches of the entire planet this is worldwide the oligarchs he wants to seize the planet who want pe
