The American and Venezuelan people remain in the dark about how the Trump administration is controlling billions of dollars of Venezuelan oil revenue. Without accountability mechanisms or a clear democratic roadmap, the United States risks entrenching a corrupt successor regime.
Wise words indeed, America has no friend, they think of themselves first, second, third… And when I say “themselves” is not even their own people, but the oligarchs in charge, a true cleptocracy
I’m sorry. I can’t imagine how awful and annoying this experience must be.
Point all those bootlickers who are excited about statehood towards Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans have been consistently screwed over.
The simple truth (that I’m sure you’re already aware of, but others aren’t) is that the Republican party doesn’t want a change that will make it harder for them to win Congress (also, many of them have nothing but contempt for latinos). And the Democrat party is too timid and disorganized to push through statehood for the likes of Puerto Rico.
It’s not helped by the fact that there are many ignorant yokels in deep red states who share that same xenophobic view, and their vote has disproportionate power.
Venezuelans would never get statehood in the first place. The country will never accept venezuelans as equals, that is just the truth, nothing good would come from becoming a territory or vassal of the US.
I know two Venezuelans. Both of them left because of the Chavez/Maduro government‘s mismanagement of the economy and oppression of the opposition. Neither of them is well off or well connected, so they left the country to make a living.
When Trump started his intervention, both of them said „Trump can take the oil, I don’t care, as long the government finally changes“.
Becoming a US territory like Puerto Rico would improve the lives of most Venezuelans pretty noticeably.
He WILL take the Oil and the people will still be oppressed. Thats like making a deal with the devil and gaining nothing in return other that having the very brief satisfaction that your oppressor got fucked. I am Venezuelan and I also can see that both things are pretty bad
Yeah but then you’ve got Venezuelans saying shit like “we want to be the 51st state” fucking bootlickers, make me ashamed of being Venezuelan
“it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
Wise words indeed, America has no friend, they think of themselves first, second, third… And when I say “themselves” is not even their own people, but the oligarchs in charge, a true cleptocracy
Don’t give the people a pass Americans are very selfish and grow up on their BS fairy tale founding and manifest destiny.

I know, but this people truly believe this bullshit. Puerto Rico is part of the US and Americans still discriminate against them
